MMedit2 for Linux is ready for testing.
http://www.c-com.com.au/MMedit2.htm

It would be wise to do the testing on a copy of your data folders...

Both Windows and Linux versions are still very much 'beta' software.
The main editing section is almost there. Things like remembering code folding when switching between tabs still need to be done and there is no facility for editing your user help files.

Connecting to the Maximite should work OK and you can transfer files between the PC and Maximite.

The bit that is not working is the terminal window.
There is a basic screen working but without scrolling and no VT control codes yet, it is very limited in use.

I do need feedback on the Linux installation.
You should be able to extract the files to anywhere that you have write and execute permissions and then run MMedit2.
I have no idea if there are any dependencies that need to be addressed.
Does it run without changing MMedit2 to executable and does it find the Maximite are two big questions.

This is not so much a Linux issue, but when you load a BAS file, it shows with the correct name in the tab, but when you print it, it just shows as untitled.bas.

Does not bother me at all - this is a work in progress, but just thought I would mention it.

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

Thanks,
That is something I didn't get back to.
Easy to fix.

I tried with Ubuntu 12.04LTS and got this error.

jakki@jakki-desktop:~/Downloads/MMedit2$ ./MMEdit2
./MMEdit2: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suspect a dependency problem of some sort.

I installed the missing dependancy.

jakki@jakki-desktop:~/Downloads/MMedit2$ sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0

And now I get this error.

jakki@jakki-desktop:~/Downloads/MMedit2$ ./MMEdit2
./MMEdit2: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Greg,
are you running 64 bit Ubuntu?
If so, I think you need to install the 32bit library.
I expect that, once this one is sorted, there will be others.

I can't create 64 bit applications unless I install a 64 bit version of Linux.

I will try and find out a bit more...

Jim, yes I am running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu. Not sure what libraries need to be installed for 32 bit compatibility, a quick Google search shows that 12.04 changed how it handled 32 bit programs and installing the required libraries. A .deb package would grab all the required dependencies but I don't know how much work they are to setup and then you'll have the Fedora lot wanting a .rpm package as well. I'll keep an eye on this thread and test any updates you release.
