This directory contains copies of the scintilla/src and scintilla/include directories from the Scintilla source distribution. All other code needed to implement Scintilla on top of wxWidgets is located in the directory above this one. The current version of the Scintilla code is 2.03 These are the basic steps needed to update the version of Scintilla used by wxSTC. 1. Copy include and src folders to src/stc/scintilla 2. Examine diffs between the new src/stc/scintilla/Scintilla.iface file and the version in SVN. You should get familiar especially with new method names or constants because some of them may need to be tweaked to conform to similar naming patterns already used. (See step #5 below.) 3. Identify new source files and update build/bakefiles/scintilla.bkl accordingly so the new files will get built. Use bakefile to regenerate the makefiles and project files. 4. Examine changes in src/stc/scintilla/include/Platform.h and identify new or changed APIs that the wx "platform" will need to provide to the rest of the Scintilla code. Implement those changes in src/stc/PlatWX.cpp. You can use the win32 version of the platform code from the Scintilla source tree as a guide if needed. You may have to make a few tweaks to src/stc/scintilla/include/Platform.h to keep the compile working cleanly, but try to keep them minimal. 5. Edit the gen_iface.py file. This is where the Scintilla.iface file is read and the code for stc.h and stc.cpp is generated. For all new methods or constant names check if there are similarly named things defined here that are having something special done to them, and then do the same sort of thing for those new items. For example if there is a new AutoCFoo method, I add the line in gen_iface.py that will cause the AutoCompFoo name to be used instead. The same for any methods dealing with "Fore" or "Back" colors, they are renamed to Foreground and Background. If there is a new method that could be considered a "command function" (something that takes no parameters and could conceivably be bound to a key event) then I make sure that it's ID is in cmdValues or included in one of the existing ranges in that list. 6. Run gen_iface.py. 7. Any other new methods should be checked to ensure that the generated code is appropriate for what they are doing and if not then in gen_iface.py you can supply custom function bodies for them instead. 8. Add documentation code for any new methods to interface/wx/stc/stc.h, also check any documentation-only changes from Scintilla.iface and see if the existing docs for those items should be updated too. 9. Build and test. 10. Submit patch to wxTrac.
