Re: [scite] Error when compiling .cxx file on mac os x

Loadable lexers aren't currently implemented in the Cocoa implementation of Scintilla so won't work in SciTE on OS X. They may work with the GTK+ or wxWidgets platform layers.

While you have given SciTE and its subprocesses permission to read and write LexPascalMM.cxx by using the standard open dialog, you haven't given permission to access the directory it is in.

One way to fix this is to add permission for that directory using Allow Access.

Since you are compiling, it is likely you will want to run the result from within SciTE which will run into the quarantine attribute issue which is also discussed on
http://www.scintilla.org/Sandbox.html

The terminal isn't sandboxed.
