#2190 Compiling SciTE 4.4.4 on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 finishs with an error when trying to create liblexilla.lib
I open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017, enter the directory with the extracted scite sources (version 4.4.4) and build scintilla (cd scintilla\win32 & nmake -f scintialla.mak) successfully. The output of the scintilla\bin directory is:
24.07.2020 15:22 55 empty.txt

Then I move to the scite\win32 directory and try to build scite (nmake -f scite.mak). This makefile call creates scite.exe in the bin directory but finishes with an error that liblexilla.lib could not be created:

Stop.
The output of the scite\bin directory is:

The same behaviour occures with Visual Studio 2019. Maybe there is a "bug" in the scite.mak file?
Compiling the scite 4.4.4 sources under Ubuntu 20.04 finishes with no errors.
Not a bug. Please goto scintilla\lexilla\src folder run
nmake -f lexilla.makto compile lexilla.dll and liblexilla.lib.Thak you for your fast response! It worked. But I did not found an info about this build step in the README. Did I missed something or should this information updated in the README?
Near the top of the README there should be a section about building lexers that refers to lexilla/src/README.
Closing this as the procedure is explained in the README.
