An unamed QEmacs fork

About QEmacs

QEmacs is an Emacs clone created by Fabrice Bellard. Since 2004, it was maintained by Charlie Gordon until early 2014.

About this fork

This fork has educational purposes and the following goals in addition to general refactorings and cleanups:

• a more modern GUI frontend (Qt, but that may change)
• build with CMake
• remove unecesary stuff (video and others)
• add scripting support (lua? js?)

Compiling

mkdir build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCONFIG_QT=ON ..
make

Some caveats

• The original qe supported x11 and terminal in one binary. The Qt version uses the Qt event loop and that conflicts with unix.c event loop used by the terminal one. We need a separate binary like the real emacs-nox.
