What is Notepad++ ?
Notepad++ is a free source editor with the syntax highlighting. It gives also the extra functionality
to the general user : colourise the user defined words. You can print your source code in color
(or whatever you want) if you have a color printer (WYSIWYG).Furthermore, Notepad++ have
the multi-view feature, that allows user to edit the different document in the same time,
and even to edit the same document synchronizely in 2 different views. Notepad++ support
the fully drag and drop : not only you can drop the file from explorer to open it, but also you
can drag and drop a document from a view to another. With all the functionalities,
Notepad++ runs as fast as Notepad provided by MS Windows.
Notepad++ source note:
To build this package:
For generating the executable file, you can use VC++ 7 or MinGW 3.0 / 2.X
For generating the the dll files, you have 2 choices as well : VC++ 6 (from v2.5) or MinGW 3.0 / 2.X
All the binaries will be builded in the directory notepad++\PowerEditor\bin
Note that the executable file npp.exe builded by MinGW 3.0, for the reason of
the runtime lib static-link, has almost 160KB more than the one builded by VC++ 7.
There's no remedy for the moment. If you can reduce the exe size by adding/changing
the compiler flag or linker flag, please let me know.
