jaberwacky 327 Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to compile a version of SciTE for LSL (Linden Scripting Language). The readme in the SciTE directory says to do this to compile SciTE: cd scintilla\win32 nmake -f scintilla.mak However, I'm seeing a "'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." error. I have installed Visual Studio Express 2010. I'm using Windows 7 x64 pro. Does any body have any ideas as to why I'm seeing this message? Do I need to install CygWin? Edit: I used the visual studio command promt and unless I did that wrong (likely) then that didn't work either. Edit: When I type: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>nmake -f "D:\Source Code\LSL\SciTE-LSL\scite175-lsl\scintilla\win32\scintilla.mak" I receive this: "NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make '../src/AutoComplete.cxx'" Edited May 5, 2012 by LaCastiglione Helpful Posts and Websites: AutoIt3 Variables and Function Parameters MHz | AutoIt Wiki | Using the GUIToolTip UDF BrewManNH | Can't find what you're looking for on the Forum?

Valik 478 Posted May 5, 2012 Using the Visual Studio Command Prompt is correct. The only thing I can suggest is set your working directory to scintillawin32 before you use nmake /F scintilla.mak. Obviously switch to the appropriate SciTE directory as well before you make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valik 478 Posted May 5, 2012 No shit, noob. You forgot /D on your cd command to tell it to change drives. You're still in the VS10 working directory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaberwacky 327 Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Oh wow! Well, I deserved that one I guess. Anyways, thank you for your help I think this is going to do it! Edit: I may actually have to take this a SciTE help forum because I'm getting some weird compilation errors. Edit: SUCCESS! I found out that the Opt:NOWIN98 is no longer supported in VS2010 and so I removed that from the make and it compiled! Thank you so much for your help Valik. SQUEEALLLL! I'm so happy. First time I ever compiled anything major. Thanks again!
