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+ 1.2x and GCC (2.8 or better) installed.
GTK+ 1.0x will not work and when it did it was very slow.
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.

If Gnome is installed then a .desktop file and icon are installed into the
correct Gnome places so that SciTE will be in the Gnome Applications menu.

To build Scintilla for GTK+ 2, define GTK2 on the make command line:
	make GTK2=1
SciTE does not support GTK+ 2.

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. Mingw32 GCC 2.95.3 is the compiler used
for most development although Visual C++ and Borland C++ are also supported.
For older versions of Borland make such as version 5.02, add the -l option.

To build Scintilla, make in the scintilla/win32 directory
		cd scintilla\win32
GCC:		make
VS .NET:	nmake -f scintilla.mak
VC++ 6:	nmake -f scintilla_vc6.mak
Borland: 	make -fscintilla.mak
		cd ..\..

To build SciTE, use the makefiles located in the scite/win32 directory
		cd scite\win32
GCC:		make
VS .NET: 	nmake -f scite.mak
Borland:	make -fscite.mak

An executable SciTE will now be in scite\bin.

The Visual C++ 6.0 project (.dsp) files are no longer supported but are left
in the download for people that are prepared to update them.
