Compiling latest Lexilla in VS2022

[Andrew Truckle]

Hi

For some reason I am getting build errors:

1>D:\My Programs\2022\lexilla540\lexilla\lexlib\DefaultLexer.cxx(15,10): error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ILexer.h': No such file or directory
1>D:\My Programs\2022\lexilla540\lexilla\lexlib\LexerBase.cxx(15,10): error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ILexer.h': No such file or directory
1>D:\My Programs\2022\lexilla540\lexilla\lexlib\LexerModule.cxx(14,10): error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ILexer.h': No such file or directory
1>D:\My Programs\2022\lexilla540\lexilla\lexlib\LexAccessor.cxx(13,10): error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ILexer.h': No such file or directory

I had opened the vxproj file and compiled, like normal.

Have I missed a step?

Also, the readme does not match the file structure:

To use MSVC, run lexilla/test/lexilla.mak:
nmake -f lexilla.mak

There is a testlexers.mak

I normally just open the vxproj and build

And:

D:\My Programs\2022\lexilla540\lexilla>dir /s ilexer.h
 Volume in drive D is DATA
 Volume Serial Number is 101E-58BA
File Not Found

Sorted.

Looks like Andrew got this working but others should be aware that ILexer.h is defined by Scintilla to communicate between Lexilla and Scintilla and is part of the Scintilla download. A "scintilla" directory containing the source should be a sibling of "lexilla".

While a copy of these interface definition files could be included in Lexilla as well as Scintilla there might be problems with mismatches when these files are revised.
