    Hi all,

    I've ALWAYS used notepad++ for web development, no I can't use windows and really need it to work... I can emulate it with wine, but wonder if there is any version for Linux, since notepad++ is GNU proyect... OMG ! I want notepad++ for Linux systems !

    Thanks !

      Mmm, this is interesting. You are the first one to ask for this. You seem even demanding.
      Perhaps you could just as well ask for a Windows machine?

        I would also love to see Notepad++ for Linux.  That makes two.

      Me too.  That makes three.

      Just kidding; really it makes about a trillion and three.  Try searching the forums for "Linux" and you'll see that this has been requested about a trillion times already, and the answer is always the same:  It's way too complex at this stage to go back and rewrite it cross-platform.  So unless you're willing to do the programming yourself, it won't happen.

      For future reference, make sure you search the forums before asking questions.  You got lucky on this thread; you were just treated to a little sarcasm.  I've seen posters get downright vicious when people ask questions that have already been asked over and over again.

      (And by the way, I really would like to see it on Linux, but I'm resigned to the fact that it can never be)

        Not exactly.

        What I want to do is modify Notepad++ project slightly to compile it natively under Linux with winelib.
        And someones who have experience with winelib are welcome to contact me to do that.

        Otherwise porting Notepad++ project with gtk/wxwidget/qt to other platforms is pointless to me.
        It's about rewriting Notepad++ project (which takes me 4 years of my full vacant time), and believe me, I know what I'm saying since I've done a project (on my job) by using wxwidget.
