README for building of Scintilla and SciTE
Scintilla can be built by itself.
To build SciTE, Scintilla must first be built.
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.
A C++ compiler is required. Visual Studio .NET 2010 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.
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
