@ -16,14 +16,15 @@ You can build SciLexer.dll without Boost, ie. with its default POSIX regular
expression support instead of boost's PCRE one. This is useful if you would
like to debug Notepad++, but don't have boost.
## To build `notepad++.exe`:
## Build `notepad++.exe`:
1. Open [`PowerEditor\visual.net\notepadPlus.vcxproj`](https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/visual.net/notepadPlus.vcxproj)
2. Build Notepad++ like a normal Visual Studio project.
As mentioned above, you'll need `SciLexer.dll` to run Notepad++. Please check the following sections for building `SciLexer.dll`.
Once `SciLexer.dll`is generated, copy it from `scintilla\bin\` to the same directory as `notepad++.exe`.

2. Unzip boost. In my case, It's unzipped in `C:\sources\boost_1_70_0`
3. Build regex of boost. With the version 1.70, launch `bootstrap.bat` under the boost root, `b2.exe` will be generated beside of `bootstrap.bat`. For building boost PCRE lib, go into regex build directory by typing `cd C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\libs\regex\build` then launch `C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\b2.exe toolset=msvc link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64 release stage`.
Note that **address-model=64** is optional if you want to build lib in 64 bits. For 32 bits build, just remove **address-model=64** from the command line.
4. Copy generated message from `C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\bin.v2\libs\regex\build\msvc-14.1\release\address-model-64\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\libboost_regex-vc141-mt-s-x64-1_70.lib` to `C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x64\`

5. Go in `scintilla\win32\` then run `nmake BOOSTPATH=your_boost_root_path BOOSTREGEXLIBPATH=your_built_lib_path -f scintilla.mak`. For example `nmake BOOSTPATH=C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\ BOOSTREGEXLIBPATH=C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x64\ -f scintilla.mak`
