PE's source has been made available for download over at BeUnited's site. In case you missed it, the source was donated in August by Maarten Hekkelman, in which was a very generous contribution.

Since their post isn't that big, i'll just be a nice guy to you all and quote it:

The source code to the Pe editor is now available at the beunited.org development portal at code.beunited.org. Access is through normal anonymous cvs login using pserver using the following command:

$cvs -d :pserver::/cvs/pe login

Those who wish to contribute to the project and submit code are asked to contact beuntied.org directly at .

There you go. So all you PE users who were complaining it wasn't being updated go grab the source and start improving it.

There is an update on beunited.org about the code....

If you're on a BeOS x86 box, type:

$ cvs -d :pserver::/cvs/pe co pe_x86
$ cd pe_x86
$ make

and that should be all. For BeOS ppc you should type:

$ cvs -d :pserver::/cvs/pe co pe_ppc
$ cd pe_ppc
$ make
UPDATE: In some cases some people may experience build problems
trying to find the mail library if you are using MDR. Before building
execute this command in the terminal:

$ ln -s /system/lib/libmail.so /boot/develop/lib/x86

I just downloaded and compiled Pe.
Im so happy to be able to use it, and now that its open sourced Ill be able to write some syntax highlighting addons for it.

Compiling presented one problem however. The Makefiles use a variable called 'CC' ( pretty common in makefiles ). I guess in this case they might be relying on them being defined in the ENV variables. Whatever, it isnt defined in the Makefiles, and it failed for me. I had to add it myself ( CC = gcc ) and then it worked perfectly.
