If you open any file that isn't UTF-8 encoded, the file doesn't shows up.

Can you send me an example file that will not open? You can post it here or send it to jeff.johnston.mn@gmail.com.

Actually... some files that I was trying to open were in an "undefined" encoding, so CodeSlayer couldn't know what type of encoding it had. I'm sending an exemple file, mainly because any other text editor that I've used had that file opened.

Thanks. Grate job on the editor, BTW. Att, Daniel

No problem! I will figure out what the problem is with the example you sent.

The problem was that GTK+ only works with text that is in UTF-8. The "fix" is to convert the text to UTF-8.

So, I spent the night looking at different implementations to solve the problem. I thought that Leafpad had the best implementation and borrowed the code from that. I checked the changes into the trunk and will have it go out in the next release.

I also wanted to ask if there something that you wished CodeSlayer had or could be improved? I like to ask people that I know are using CodeSlayer...

Great! I'm happy to help! But I wanna help even more :)

So, I've cloned the git repository and I'm trying to compile the version that is in it... but I keep getting that error, I've already tried to include some reference to the headers file that points to the functions needed, without success... can you give me a hand with that? Thanks!

This is the tail of the "make" command:

Do you have gtksourceview3 installed? When I moved to git a few weeks ago I also moved the project to GTK+3. You will also need to install the gtk-doc library.

I just moved my work machine to Arch Linux and I was able to clone, compile and install...so I know it works at least.

Feel free to email me at jeff.johnston.mn@gmail.com for more help.

Did anyone have some more information on the undefined reference issue above? I had no trouble compiling on Arch, but a new Mint 12 yields the same errors on both 1.5.1 and git versions. Any pointers on which packages are needed to compile would be helpful.

I've installed: gtk-doc-tools install libgtk-3-0 install libgtk-3-bin install libgtk-3-common install libgtk-3-dev install libgtk-3-doc install libgtk2.0-0 install libgtk2.0-bin install libgtk2.0-cil install libgtk2.0-common install libgtk2.0-dev install libgtksourceview-3.0-0 install libgtksourceview-3.0-common install libgtksourceview-3.0-dev install libgtksourceview-3.0-doc install libgtksourceview2.0-0 install libgtksourceview2.0-common install libgtksourceview2.0-dev install

What is the error you are seeing?

The only dependencies are Gtk+3 and GtkSourceView3.

The error is very similar to what #5 posted. It seems like it is not picking up the gtksourceview library. I'm not sure it helps, but I attached the output from the configure script.

I am not sure why it cannot find the gtksourceview library. The one thing that sticks out for me the most is that your install directory is different than mine (Arch 64).

You might try running the ldconfig command.

The correct statement is this: gcc -g -O2 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -o .libs/codeslayer codeslayer-codeslayer-main.o -pthread ./.libs/libcodeslayer.so -lgtksourceview-3.0 -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -latk-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo-gobject.so -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so -lpango-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -pthread

The "./.libs/libcodeslayer.so" should not be at the end but before the libraries linked with -l .

Now how do I fix the build script to do it correctly? Is the error in the libtool ?

The attached patch fixes it.

Thank you!! I have applied the patch.

I also wanted to ask if there something that you wished CodeSlayer had or could be improved? I like to ask people that I know are using CodeSlayer...jeff.johnston.mn@gmail.com

To be honest I do not use codeslayer because I do not code that much ;)

I only packaged the new version for GetDeb.net and did a short test. This does not mean more than testing that it runs.

But if you like I can ask for feedback about codeslayer on the Google+ of GetDeb: http://google.com/+getdeb

Thats ok :). Thank you for finding this bug!
