README for building of Scintilla on Qt



There are two different Scintilla libraries that can be produced:



	ScintillaEditBase

A basic widget callable from C++ which is small and can be used just as is

or with higher level functionality added.



	ScintillaEdit

A more complete C++ widget with a method for every Scintilla API and a

secondary API allowing direct access to document objects.



	Building a library



ScintillaEditBase can be built without performing any generation steps.

The ScintillaEditBase/ScintillaEditBase.pro project can be loaded into

Qt Creator and the "Build All" command performed.

Alternatively, run "qmake" to build make files and then use the platform

make to build. Most commonly, use "make" on Unix and "nmake"

on Windows.



On Linux, qmake may be called qmake-qt5 or qmake-qt4.



ScintillaEdit requires a generation command be run first. From the

ScintillaEdit directory:



python WidgetGen.py



After the generation command has run, the ScintillaEdit.h and

ScintillaEdit.cpp files will have been populated with the Scintilla API

methods.

To build, use Qt Creator or qmake and make as for ScintillaEditBase.
