THE (The Hessling Editor ) is available in the repos but it is only compiled for the console variant.

Please also include a version compiled for the X11 variant.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report, will investigate it further - btw this is probably first report regarding THE that I see in ~ 6 years :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please check version from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/editors/THE if it is what you expect.

Sorry, I missed that an RPM was available to test at that link. I installed the RPM in a test TW VM and ran /usr/bin/the-x but it does not seem to be running as a native X11 app and does not start it in it's own Window. Running /usr/bin/the-x from the KDE app launcher does not cause it to display but it is running because it appears in the ps list. That is the behavior seen if you try to launch the-con from the KDE launcher since there is no konsole window that it was launched from On The Hessling Editor Website http://hessling-editor.sourceforge.net/ It says: X11 port of THE With the release of a port of PDCurses for X11, known as XCurses THE can now be built as a native X11 application. To build an X11 version of THE, you need both XCurses and THE source code. Possibly XCurses is missing causing it to not be build for X11? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

On The Hessling Editor Website

It says:

X11 port of THE With the release of a port of PDCurses for X11, known as XCurses THE can now be built as a native X11 application. To build an X11 version of THE, you need both XCurses and THE source code.

Possibly XCurses is missing causing it to not be build for X11?

Hmm will explore this more - the issue is that as far as undestand THE documentation is sparse and not allways up to date. for example configure of THE seems to search for Xaw (x athena widgets), which would indicate X support. Xcurses is afaik not something that would be available in openSUSE, or be widely adopted at all.

Yeah, I tried a while back to compile it for X11 and regina Rexx and could not get it to work. Possibly Mark Hessling could provide some guidance? I reached out to him years ago about something unrelated and he was pretty good about getting back to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
