How to build Ournotepad

There are two components that need to be built separately:

  • Ournotepad.exe: (depends on SciLexer.dll)
  • SciLexer.dll : (with nmake)

You can build Ournotepad with or without Boost - The release build of Ournotepad is built with Boost.

You can build SciLexer.dll without Boost, ie. with its default POSIX regular expression support instead of boost's PCRE one. This is useful if you would like to debug Ournotepad, but don't have boost.

Build Ournotepad.exe:

  1. Open PowerEditor\visual.net\notepadPlus.vcxproj
  2. Build Ournotepad like a normal Visual Studio project.

As mentioned above, you'll need SciLexer.dll to run Ournotepad. Please check the following sections for building SciLexer.dll. Once SciLexer.dllis generated, copy it from scintilla\bin\ to the same directory as Ournotepad.exe.
