So after my first failed attempt with MMEdit I deleted everything and re extracted the folder in /home/Bryan/mmedit5. Now trying to get MMedit to load an error comes up and fails to start.

I am working on a version for RPi without the need for webkit stuff.

Just waiting to create another clean image for the RPi.

If that works satisfactorily, I will do the same for other Linux.

You might still have difficulties with qt5. More recent distributions have gone to qt6 and removed it from their repositories.

"If that works satisfactorily, I will do the same for other Linux.". NO!!! mmedit on linux mint works great as is.

"If you want desktop shortcuts, run dtopscuts.sh.". shortcuts to mmedit and mmcc appear but just open files in file manager.

Thanks for your persistence sorting rpi mmedit... rpi programming rpi :)

Tried a few other flash progs and rpi mmedit working so far.

Nice :)

@Jim
just a thought: could it be possible to directly call the system default web browser with the help html instead of a GTK window?

edit: I don't own a RPI so could not test

Yes but in my experience it has been difficult to come up with a method that works for all incarnations of Linux.
I am working on it.
