Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on September 29, 2008 - 7:02am
now i'm engaged in my annual search for a good tabbed text editor
actually i just gave up
km:
hahahaha
I'm somewhat pleased with gedit
benjamin melançon:
another reason to switch to linux
km:
:-)
yeah if you think about it, programmers need to build these things, and programmers use Linux
benjamin melançon:
... or just use darwinports for now
cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/gnome/gedit
sudo port install gedit
hmm, installing it seems to be making a process called tclsh8.4 go crazy
after a very long time and a ton of updates and checks and such with yes, it hit:
checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... ./configure: line 3493: intltool-update: command not found

Searching for: "Your intltool is too old. You need intltool 0.35.0 or later" suggests that it may not be the lack of this version, but some issue with the makefile:

Download and install the
Download and install the latest Xcode from Apple.
http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/
It's a little convoluted, but here's what you have to do:
-Register with Apple Developer Connection (it's free)
-Navigate to "Downloads"
-Find "Developer Tools" in the right-hand sidebar
-Scroll down until you find Xcode.
Note that the latest version of Xcode (3.2) requires Snow Leopard, so if you have Leopard scroll down to get Xcode 3.1.3.
