On Scintilla

[abdan]

I tried to build Scintilla.dll 64bit as notepad++ dependency, and obey the instruction on https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus ,

And used Visual Studio 2015 but as I came to 5th step to build it with boost regex and got into the notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\win32 dir. to do

D:\MSYS\usr\src\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\win32>
nmake BOOSTPATH=D:\MSYS\usr\src\boost_1_70_0\ BOOSTREGEXLIBPATH=x:\T\boostregexLib\x64\ -f scintilla.mak

What it gave is this

What actually caused build failure here?

How to solve it? Thanks much.

This is the mailing list for SciTE, not Scintilla and for this problem you probably want the Notepad++ forum.

Current Scintilla 4.x requires a C++17 compiler and standard library. Visual C++ 2015 is too old.

There is a LongTerm3 branch of Scintilla which may work with MSVC 2015 available from https://scintilla.sourceforge.io/LongTermDownload.html

C++17 required.

> BoostRegexSearch.cxx
> D:\MSYS\usr\src\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\include\Platform.h(339): error C2039: 'string_view': is not a member of 'std'

std::string_view from C++17 required.
