README for building of Scintilla and SciTE Scintilla can be built by itself. To build SciTE, Scintilla must first be built. *** GTK+/Linux version *** You must first have GTK+ 2.0 or later and GCC (4.1 or better) installed. GTK+ 1.x will not work. Other C++ compilers may work but may require tweaking the make file. To build Scintilla, use the makefile located in the scintilla/gtk directory cd scintilla/gtk make cd ../.. To build and install SciTE, use the makefile located in the scite/gtk directory cd scite/gtk make make install This installs SciTE into $prefix/bin. The value of $prefix is determined from the location of Gnome if it is installed. This is usually /usr if installed with Linux or /usr/local if built from source. If Gnome is not installed /usr/bin is used as the prefix. The prefix can be overridden on the command line like "make prefix=/opt" but the same value should be used for both make and make install as this location is compiled into the executable. The global properties file is installed at $prefix/share/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties. The language specific properties files are also installed into this directory. To remove SciTE make uninstall To clean the object files which may be needed to change $prefix make clean The current make file only supports static linking between SciTE and Scintilla. *** Windows version *** A C++ compiler is required. Visual Studio .NET 2008 is the development system used for most development although TDM Mingw32 4.4.1 is also supported. To build Scintilla, make in the scintilla/win32 directory cd scintilla\win32 GCC: mingw32-make VS .NET: nmake -f scintilla.mak cd ..\.. To build SciTE, use the makefiles located in the scite/win32 directory cd scite\win32 GCC: mingw32-make VS .NET: nmake -f scite.mak An executable SciTE will now be in scite\bin. The Visual C++ 6.0 project (.dsp) and make files are no longer supported but are left in the download for people that are prepared to update them. *** GTK+/Windows version *** Mingw32 is known to work. Other compilers will probably not work. Only Scintilla will build with GTK+ on Windows. SciTE will not work. To build Scintilla, make in the scintilla/gtk directory cd scintilla\gtk mingw32-make
