It would be nice to have scintilla on fltk.
I'm using fltk on my projects but theres no easy way to add scintilla to fltk.
I use linux and windows, c++
Looking forward to have scintilla on fltk.
Thanks
Its unlikely that a FLTK platform layer will be bundled into the standard Scintilla repository as maintaining a platform layer is a huge amount of work.

I've already tried that link but it dont work, it compiles but crashes.
I'm building a important project with fltk and I need a reliable editor, with the features of scintilla.
If I pay can it be implemented? How much will it be?

If you aren't committed to FLTK then it may be more reasonable to use Qt or wxWidgets, both of which have Scintilla ports. FLTK should have a mechanism for hosting platform windows that could be used to avoid porting to FLTK.
I haven't used FLTK, but expect it is at a similar level to wxWidgets, trying to support Unix/X|Wayland, Win32, and macOS. Writing a platform layer for Scintilla is a fairly large job taking several months for a basic working version avoiding difficult subsystems like accessibility and right-to-left (Arabic/Hebrew) and with only very simple Input Method Editor (East Asian) support. I'd want more scope information before quoting but it'd be of the order of tens of thousands of dollars.

Ok thanks for your attention. I'll just use the fltk text editor on the project, fltk is very simple and I'll continue to use that because I'm commited to simple things.
Anyway I think there is more programmers that use fltk that would prefeer the scintilla instead the fl_editor.
Thanks anyway
