Try the program medit (SlackBuild script).

My SLKBUILD script (not tested) for Salix OS 13.37:

Code: Select all

pkgname=medit
pkgver=1.0.4
pkgrel=111
source=(medit-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo")
options=('nosrcpack')


slackdesc=\
(
#|-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------|
"medit (a text editor)"
"medit is a GTK text editor. Started as an editor component of GGAP"
"(http://ggap.sourceforge.net/), it grew up to a real full-featured"
"text editor."
""
"Homepage: http://mooedit.sourceforge.net/"
)


build() {
	cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
	./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
	make || return 1
	make install DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg
}

X2 is an at least 10 year old solid/stable editor with roots in E family of editors, E3 and EOS2, and the XEDIT family of editors ;)
