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"

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.
To build SciLexer.dll without PCRE support:
1. Go in Notepad++\trunk\scintilla\win32
2. Run nmake with an option:
nmake NOBOOST=1 -f scintilla.mak
1. Go in `scintilla\win32\`
2. Run nmake with an option `nmake NOBOOST=1 -f scintilla.mak`
Notepad++ Unicode release binary (notepad++.exe) and Scintilla release binary (SciLexer.dll) will be built in the directories "notepad++\trunk\PowerEditor\bin" and "notepad++\trunk\scintilla\bin" respectively.
You have to copy SciLexer.dll in "notepad++\PowerEditor\bin" in order to launch notepad++.exe
