Therefore [Boost](http://www.boost.org/) is needed to compile Scintilla in order to have PCRE support.

|
1. Download the [Boost source code](http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/). v1.55 should be used with VS 2013. Then unzip it. In my case, "boost_1_55_0" is copied in `C:\sources\`

2. Go to `scintilla\boostregex\` then run BuildBoost.bat with your boost path. In my case: `BuildBoost.bat C:\sources\boost_1_55_0`
|
||
|
|
3. Go in `scintilla\win32\` then run `nmake -f scintilla.mak`

You can build SciLexer.dll without Boost, ie. with its default POSIX regular expression support instead boost's PCRE one. It will work with notepad++.exe, however some functionalities in Notepad++ may be broken.
