Installation

Unpack the tarball and in the extracted source directory:

cmake [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=prefix] -B build

cmake --build build [--parallel Njobs]

and optionally as root:

[sudo] cmake --install build

Note that the default installation path prefix is /usr/local .

Configuration

QXGEdit holds its settings and configuration state per user, in a file located as $HOME/.config/rncbc.org/QXGEdit.conf. Normally, there's no need to edit this file, as it is recreated and rewritten everytime qxgedit is run.

Bugs

Plenty still, however QXGEdit may be considered in production/stable phase already.
