xi-qt's Issues

Clicking at any point in xi-qt gives SIGSEGV

after debugging i saw that when i click at any point in editor window, it calls ContentView::getLineColumn(const QPoint &pos) and then inside of that function calls lineCache->get(line)->utf8Length() that gives SIGSEGV;

qt creator stops at this line of code:

Q_REQUIRED_RESULT QByteArray toUtf8() const &
-> { return toUtf8_helper(*this); }

Hoping build guide

Could you please write a build guide for it? Or listing out the building environment.
您好，能不能简单的给一个编译指南或者编译环境？

how to build ?

this http://tonsky.me/blog/disenchantment/ (scroll to bottom) made me curious to try Xi, but I don't know how to build it from your source files.

Please create a make file perhaps?

Thanks

Make xi-qt cross-platform

Well requirement and not great experience ( #6 ) tells that it can be only used on Windows. But why not make it cross-platform so user won't have to buy windows to use it would use it anywhere he wants?
