hex === 'hex' is yet another hex viewer. As of now, there are no advantages to it. Plans ----- In the future, it should be able to automatically interpret fields within files using a set of Lua scripts. Packages -------- Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the list of repositories and their respective links at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git Building and Running -------------------- Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, liberty (included), termo (included) + Runtime dependencies: ncursesw, libunistring $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/hex.git $ mkdir hex/build $ cd hex/build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug $ make To install the application, you can do either the usual: # make install Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is: $ cpack -G DEB # dpkg -i hex-*.deb Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with `fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong. Having the program installed, optionally create a configuration file and run it. Configuration ------------- Create _~/.config/hex/hex.conf_ with contents like the following: .... colors = { footer = "" highlight = "bold" bar = "reverse" bar_active = "ul" even = "" odd = "" selection = "reverse" } .... Terminal caveats ---------------- Terminals are somewhat tricky to get consistent results on, so be aware of the following: - Xterm needs `XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true` for the default bindings to work - urxvt's 'vtwheel' plugin sabotages scrolling Contributing and Support ------------------------ Use this project's GitHub to report any bugs, request features, or submit pull requests.
