Do not know if this post goes here.

I've been looking for something that replaces the Blitzmax IDE on Linux, and found Sublime Text 2. Sublimet Text is cross-platform, works on Windows, Linux and OSX.

Nilium has created a package for TextMate in OSX, Textmate packages are compatible with Sublime Text. I have no OSX available to compare with Textmate sorry, but to make it work, I have done the following.

steps

1 - Download your version of Sublime Text 2 from here http://www.sublimetext.com/2
2 - Download a Nilling work from here https://github.com/nilium/blitzmax.tmbundle
3 - Install Sublit Text on your system
4 - On Linux: Create the directory: ~ / .config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Blitzmax
5 - On Linux: Copy the contents of blitzmax.tmbundle to ~ / .config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Blitzmax
6 - Start Sublime Text
7 - Have fun!

I'm testing, and syntax highlight works and I want to see how to create a project and compile.

The help is welcome and share your results :)

Regards
Inge

P.D. Sorry my english is not the best

Great! I use sublime for everything and would love to use it with Blitzmax.
Only the syntax & snippets seems to be working, but build system really is a must for development...
If I have time I will try to fix it, it feels like an easy conversion

Great, Thank you!

Also adding alternate steps to install on (L)ubuntu linux 11.10 64-bit (assuming you already have sublime2-x64, and git installed):

1.) git clone https://github.com/nilium/blitzmax.tmbundle
2.) cd blitzmax.tmbundle/
3.) zip -r BlitzMax.sublime-package *
4.) mv BlitzMax.sublime-package ~/apps/sublime2/Pristine\ Packages/
(Replace ~/apps/sublime2 with where ever you keep your sublime2 installation)
5.) Restart sublime2

I also use sublime 2 for most coding these days! Works on all 3 platforms which is just superb if you switch around alot!

I cannot find https://github.com/nilium/blitzmax.tmbundle anymore. I get 404.

Anyone knows where it went, or if there is an alternative repo somewhere?
