How-to Install Notepad++ in Ubuntu with Wine

Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size.

Notepad++ is no doubt one of the most preferred editor for developers. Unfortunately there isn’t a Linux version. And there is a good reason why it wasn’t ported over to Linux, since it would probably require an entire rewrite of everything to do it. This tutorial is on how to setup Notepad++ in Linux and write a script to run or edit a file from the Linux terminal directly. If you want something that is native to linux then you may want to check out gedit over here.

The steps you will need to follow can be briefly broken into two tasks:

• Install notepad++ in Linux (I use Ubuntu) using wine
• Write a Linux script that can invoke notepad++ from any directory in the terminal.

For reference, here is the WineHQ write-up on Notepad++ 5.xx.xx:

How to install Notepad++ in Ubuntu

Drop this doobly-do in your Terminal to install Wine Emulator PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine winetricks

Ok, now close out of terminal. And reopen terminal.

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/notepad++

winetricks winxp corefonts gecko gecko-dbg vcrun2005

wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/5.9/npp.5.9.Installer.exe

wine npp.5.9.Installer.exe

There may be other ‘winetricks’ components that you can install later that may help with functionality regarding some of the plugins for notepad++ editor. I haven’t had the time to explore all of them yet. Just a ‘heads up’ about that, in case you find a plugin that doesn’t work in Wine.

Here is where where Notepad++ was installed:

Create a .sh empty bash script file:

touch notepad++.sh

Open it gedit:

gedit notepad++.sh

Paste this into your newly created script file:

#!/bin/sh
wine ~/.wine/notepad++/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe $1

Save it.

The $1 represents the first argument. If you run the script with a filename as the argument notepad++ will open the particular file. The file path of $1 is by default the present working directory. However you can state the full path there to edit any file which is not the same directory from where you call the script. If the file name does not exist, notepad++ will prompt you to create a new file with that name. If you don’t specify any argument, notepad++ will open normally.

Now we want to make this script file executable from any directory:

sudo chmod 755 notepad++.sh

Open terminal and type:

echo $PATH

This will display the list of common path directories. Copy notepad++.sh to any of those common path directories. (You might need root privileges to copy. So open nautilus as root user)

sudo nautilus

Or you can just try this to copy this file to a normally available common path directory instead:

sudo cp notepad++.sh  /usr/local/sbin/notepad++.sh

How to create a icon on your desktop for notepad++.sh:

Right click anywhere on the desktop, and select “Create Launcher”.

Input the notepad++.sh command and name it whatever you want.

Usage

windows XP：

用记事本打开C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts把秘密代码添加到该文件最后一行。

Win7 & Vista：C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc 目录下，将hosts文件复制到别的地方，添加秘密代码，修改完了再覆盖掉原来的。如果提示目标文件夹拒绝访问，需要提供管理员权限，点击 继续 即可。

Linux：/etc/hosts文件，插入秘密代码

那么什么是秘密代码呢，如下：

首先得下载包含wb98的源码包：

http://ibus.googlecode.com/files/ibus-table-wubi-1.1.0.20090219.tar.gz

tar zxf ibus-table-wubi-1.1.0.20090219.tar.gz

cd ibus-table-wubi-1.1.0.20090219

./configure –prefix=/usr –enable-wubi98 –disable-wubi86 （安装到ibus的系统目录下，生成wb98的码表，不生成wb86的码表，因为系统已经自带了，且比我们的新）

sudo make install

OK了，现在重启一下ibus，在输入法列表中就有我们期待的wb98的输入法了。
