SciLexer.dll: From version 6.0, SciLexer.dll comes with release contains boost's PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) feature. Therefore Boost (http://www.boost.org/) is needed to compile Scintilla in order to have PCRE support. Here are the instructions to build SciLexer.dll for Notepad++: - 1. Download source code of Boost from Boost site (http://www.boost.org/). 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 Notepad++\trunk\scintilla\boostregex\ then run BuildBoost.bat with your boost path. In my case: - BuildBoost.bat C:\sources\boost_1_55_0 - 3. Go in Notepad++\trunk\scintilla\win32\ then run "nmake -f scintilla.mak" + 1. Download source code of Boost from Boost site (http://www.boost.org/). v1.55 should be used with VS 2013. Then unzip it.

It will work with notepad++.exe, however some functionalities in Notepad++ may be broken. To build SciLexer.dll without PCRE support: - 1. Go in Notepad++\trunk\scintilla\win32 - 2.
