Hi,
I modified something in Scintilla and I want to compile it. I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, and I followed the instructions to compile Scintilla (using the makefile in the distribution):

[engunneer]

sounds like you need an SDK of some sort? can you find any of the missing files on your PC?

Compiling plain C++ with VC 2005 seems not straightforward, because of built-in limitations, which fortunately can be lift.
The informations in Compile AutoHotkey using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition can be used to compile Scintilla & SciTE too.

Thanks, PhiLho (and engunneer). I'm now downloading the neccesary files (200 MB!).

I followed the steps in "Compile AutoHotkey using Visual C++". Now when I try to compile I get this little error message (translated from Spanish)

I need help quickly

Well, I downloaded SciTE174 and unzipped it.
I ran Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (set up to compile C++) and I opened SciLexer.dsp. VC2005 converted the project file and allowed me to build the DLL. I got lot of warning, because MS deprecated old C API like strcpy or sprintf (common source of buffer overruns) but I had the DLL.
I did the same with SciTE.dsp, compile without a problem, generated an EXE.
Grouping the two binaries, they ran without problem.

So I couldn't reproduce the problem.
FYI, luaL_openlibs is defined in scite/lua/src/lib/linit.c

BTW, out of curiosity, why are you trying to compile your own version of SciTE? Any improvement planned?

Well, I'm making a lexer (I have to debug A LOT of bugs) for a language that I have invented. My problem is now solved. As it saw that nobody replied to me I tried to solve the problem myself: I commented the line that was giving problems. Now I compiled Scintilla and voilá! Problem solved. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Bye!

Well, you didn't need to recompile SciTE, then. To add a lexer, only Scintilla needs to be recompiled.

It gave errors me when only compiling Scintilla. But that I tried to compile SciTE.

Well my suggestion is to download either mingw or cygwin and compile it with that, I use both and scite and scintilla compiles perfectly

First, you must get Platform SDK (I use version 2003R2), and add the include and lib directorys to VC.
You can find all the 'how-to' on www.Codeproject.com
Proper configuration is a of utmost importance with VC Express (you should install VCExpress Service Pack 1 if you haven't allready).

Then, get Notepad++ source package, it has scintilla VC project file included, open it and hit F7;)
(ps: get yourself Windows Template Library (WTL) while you're at it, it's slick, open source and contains mucho good classes (MFC-style CString!))
