MyNotePad

Synopsis

A markdown editor supports exporting HTML.

This program is initially written in pure win32 APIs just like this. Later it's rewritten using wxWidgets, you can build it in Windows and Linux.

Download binaries: Release

Compiling instructions

Linux

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git
# Debian 9
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-dev
# Debian 10
sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
git clone https://github.com/mooction/mynotepad
mkdir mynotepad/build
cd mynotepad/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
sudo make install

That's all. Run mynotepad to launch the program.

Windows

Notice: No longer support 32-Bit (x86) Windows.

1. Download CMake and wxWidgets source code or binaries. If you use wxWidgets binaries, download 3 archives:

• Header Files (include folder)
• 64-Bit Development Files (lib/vc14x_x64_dll folder)
• 64-Bit Release DLLs (lib/vc14x_x64_dll folder)

2. Extract them to the same folder and merge the lib/vc14x_x64_dll folder. For example, the directory tree is like:

D:\
|----wxWidgets-3.1.3
     |---------------include
                     |--------msvc
                     |--------wx
     |---------------lib
                     |--------vc14x_x64_dll
                              |-------------mswu
                              |-------------mswud
                              |-------------wxbase31u.lib
                              ......
                              |-------------wxrc.exe
                              ......

See CMakeLists.txt for more detail.

3. Then open CMake-GUI, click Browse Source and Browse Build to choose a correct place.

4. Click Configure, specify generator for this project. If you are using Visual Studio, then choose Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64 or other version, but Win64 is required.

5. Set wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR and wxWidgets_LIB_DIR to the wxWidgets library folder. For the instance above, set wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR to D:\wxWidgets-3.1.3\ and set wxWidgets_LIB_DIR to D:\wxWidgets-3.1.3\lib\vc14x_x64_dll.

6. Click Configure again, then click Generate, finally we get a Visual Studio solution.
