Usage of lout on Mac

[Crétel Dominique]

Hi all,

I have downloaded the latest lout source.
I have compiled them with gcc
And all is fine.
All source lout file give me the good result.

But does any one can help me to find a friendly editor including syntax
coloring to use on Mac ?

And also how to build a command file like a shell on linux or a bat on
windows ?
I am newbie on this system.

Thanks

This rather depends on what you consider friendly.
If you are new only to macs, then it may be worth looking for a port of
something you are used to from where you were before.

may be a useful starting point, and seems to not list some things listed
at:

which may well run on that platform.

Emacs is available and there's a lout-mode for it, which is what I use,
but it's not the easiest editor to learn: if you don't already know it,
it'd be well worth working through the good built-in tutorial first.
Perhaps there's a Lout-syntax-coloring alternative out there?

You should find much Linux stuff also works on OS X. It's quite
BSD-like.
