Nedit-ng builds and runs ok on MacOS Big Sur 11.1

[grege2]

Hi all, I finally upgraded my Catalina Mac to Big Sur 11.1. It's got the usual gratuitous appearance changes to make it look new and different and more like an iPad (why would anyone want that .. don't get me started). But it was smooth enough.

I rebuilt the nedit-ng master of 12Jan, with the same tools/libs as before, Xcode 12.1, Cmake 3.19.0-rc2, bison 3.7.3, Qt 5.15.1, boost 1.74.1 and it seems to build and run fine.

I'll update to latest Xcode 12.3 (another 12GB install, need to backup Big Sur first) and report again. Then put something in the Wiki, although there's thankfully nothing to say, just "Big Sur ? see Catalina".

Ok, part 2. This is with the nedit-ng master of 17 Jan (US time), Big Sur 11.1, Xcode 12.3. All working fine.

Here's the build FYI ..

Great to see. BTW, I assume you have multiple cores; if you tell make to use them, the build will go faster ;-).

For example, if you have an 8 core CPU, feel free to run:

make -j8

And it'll build with 8 jobs :-)

[grege2]

Cool. I used make -j4 and it built about 3 times faster. Actually 2.6 x. Good to know !
