# KevEdit

KevEdit is a ZZT editor that was under development from 2000-2005 by Kevin
Vance and Ryan Phillips.  It runs under DOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

As of 2023 it is maintained by Kevin Vance on github.  Maintenance is focused
on improvements for running KevEdit on modern computers while still supporting
DOS.

## Download

Binary releases are available for 32-bit DOS, 64-bit Linux and Windows, and
macOS (x86_64 and arm64) from
[github releases](https://github.com/cknave/kevedit/releases/).

## Usage

$ kevedit [file.zzt]

Press `H` in the editor to access the interactive help.

## Building from source

$ ./bootstrap.sh  # only if building from git
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install

If building from git, the bootstrap script requires that you have [pkg-config]
and [SDL2] installed.  If you are using a source tarball, you can skip directly
to running the configure script.

[pkg-config]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
[SDL2]: https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

## Creating binary artifacts

Docker containers are provided for building Linux AppImage binaries, as well as
cross-compiling to macOS, Windows, and DOS.  This is automated by a python
build script:

$ cd inst
    $ ./build.py [appimage] [dos] [macos] [windows]
    $ ls dist

## Building docker images

To build the docker images and tag them as 'latest' instead of pulling them
from Docker Hub:

$ cd inst
    $ ./build.py -i build -t [appimage] [dos] [macos] [windows]
