This is part of gnome, right? You will probably have problems with all the dependencies.
Why not trying another editor? There are so many.
How about this:

Hi,

yes ,it is a part of GNOME,but the customer wants gedit to install it on 11.11.

is it possible and how ?

[Torsten.]

This is what I found about gnome on hp-ux:

http://docs.hp.com/en/GNOME/install.html

But the "latest news" is dated 2005.

So you probably need to go to http://www.gnome.org/ , get the sources and start to compile everything you need.
(this could be an "endless" work - I'm not sure if I would do this for only an editor).

I've not seen any pre-compiled binaries for this on HPUX.

I'd expect that you would need at least gtk, and possibly the entire gnome desktop....

Hi

Qedit, a text editor, is a purchasable product of Robelle Software.

You can see the product info here :http://www.robelle.com/products/

I have this product installed on my application servers running 11.11, 11.23 and 11.31 with no problems at all.

Regards

David

no ,requiremnet is gedit only.can anyone help ,how to get it and compile it for 11.11

thnx in advance

as Torsten noted, see gnome.org.

It sounds like your "customer" came from a linux environment....

It may be that you will have to build the entire gnome environment to get this to work.

You might want to discuss the "requirement" with the customer, as not everything that can be done is worth it. I would question "why gedit". From the looks of the docs, it has IDE plugins, plus messaging, plus......

I feel pretty certain that if you download gnome from software.hp.com you will get gedit. but my suggestion would be to learn vi or emacs.

Have a look at the GEDIT home page here:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/index.html

From here you can download the source and attempt to compile it on HP-UX. Be sure to look for an compile-time dependencies and run-time dependencies and compile/install those as well.

If I read the features list
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/
I cannot see real highlights. IMHO dozens of editors can do this.
Note, this seems to be the current version.
The downloadable version on software.hp.com is much older.
I would search for alternatives without much dependencies.
