Please add Tilde text editor to MacPorts

[programmingkidx]

Tilde is a really cool GUI text editor that runs in the terminal. This text editor beats vi, emacs, pico, and pretty much any other editor in terms of user friendliness and usefulness. It would make a great edition to Mac OS software. Right now it appears to be a Linux application, but I read here (​https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41455294/compiling-tilde-text-editor-on-macos) that porting it has been done.

I just took a look in Linux and I agree, looks nice.

I just finished my work on porting Tilde to Mac OS. Now I need help with porting Tilde to MacPorts. Here is an outline of what needs to be done in order to make it work. I will work with anyone who can help.

Operations to perform:

pkg-config version < 0.2.0 (pkg-config --version)

• run sudo port install pkg-config

glibtool -> sudo port install libtool

libunistring -> sudo port install libunistring

libtranscript

• download: ​https://os.ghalkes.nl/dist/libtranscript-0.3.3.tar.bz2
• patch libtranscript/config.pkg add "#include <stdio.h>" to line under "#include <dirent.h>".
• configure: LIBTOOL=/opt/local/bin/glibtool ./configure --without-gettext
• build: make all && sudo make install _pkgconfigdir=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

libt3window
