Building ee/aee on Mac OS X 10.3
I consider ee, the Easy Editor, and its feature-enhanced counterpart, aee, to be "must haves" on any Mac OS X installation. This brief article tells you how to build the from source. At the time of writing the latest versions are ee 1.4.2 and aee 2.2.3.
You'll need to have the Xcode Tools installed on your system. Optionally, you'll also need wget to download the source archives. Lines beginning with the hash/pound symbol (#) are comments which don't need to be entered.
To download, build and install ee into /usr/local/bin:
# fetch, extract and build wget http://www.users.qwest.net/~hmahon/sources/ee-1.4.2.src.tgz tar xvzf ee-1.4.2.src.tgz cd easyedit make
# test the built executable ./ee
# install the built executable sudo make install
To download, build and install aee into /usr/local/bin:
# much the same as the ee build... wget http://www.users.qwest.net/~hmahon/sources/aee-2.2.3.tar.gz tar xzvf aee-2.2.3.tar.gz cd aee-2.2.3 make ./aee sudo make install
