FlEdit is a portable lightweight text editor that is using the FLTK gui library. It has been tested on Windows 10 and Ubuntu. It might work on macOS with some tweaks. The editor widget is based on the Fl_Text_Editor in FLTK but has been extended.
This is a personal project that has no intention to become something more than it is now. It is more or less feature complete at this point.

To build it you need a C++ 17 compiler (gcc/mingw64) and FLTK 1.4 library.
FLTK must be compiled with --enable-use_std flag.
The source will NOT compile with Microsoft Visual Studio.
It also needs PCRE and sqlite3 libraries but these are included in the source directory.
