I haven’t used MinGW for windows builds so can’t say for sure what your problem is.
But I have described here what I have done to build npp and scintilla with VS2017 community edition.
The steps for plugins should be quite similar.
A more detailed version include a lot of screenshots can be downloaded or viewed from here

If something is unclear, let us know. (together with the name of the plugin you tried to build)

Cheers

You are asking a FAQ.

It unzips fine for me.

Thank you very much to Peter Jones .
I will work through your options

Good news: I’ve received an email by @bruderstein. He will try to fix the cert error as soon as possible.

If you go to notepad-plus-plus.org and click on “resources” on the left side and scroll down to “User Defined Languages” there’s a link that takes you to the wiki page for UDLs. Unity3d is in the list. At the end of the list there are directions on how to install a UDL. C# is included with NPP. If you’re not looking for two different languages but one super specific flavor of Unity3d, you may have to edit an existing UDL or create your own.

Good Luck

As a follow on, I found a couple minutes to play a bit with the pretty-print and validate: the pretty-print does seem to work on a selection; the validate seemed to use the whole document, even when I just had the small segment selected. Though since I’m not good at XML, I could be wrong in my interpretation.

However, while the XML Tools pretty-print does work with individual selections, I had forgotten you said there may be thousands, which means it won’t be very efficient. I think the three-step search+replace/xml tools/search+replace is probably the best in-Notepad++ option.

For me already installed xml tools are workiing fine with n++ 7.5.7 64bit on win10. XML tools are 2.4.9.2, installed by plugin manager.
@Alessandro-Tari Which plugin version do you use? 32bit or 64bit? How did you install the XML tools?

I had the same error and reported an issue at CS-Script’s project page. The plugin author fixed it by releasing version 1.7.13.0. It should be available via PluginManagers developer plugin list.

The release note states:

This release is just repackaged v1.7.12.0. repackaging was required due to the Notepad++ v7.5.7 suddenly changing the hosting model, which is no longer allowing plugin entry dll to have the name that is even slightly different to the plugin name.

Found one! https://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-linter/
Takes a little wrangling to get the xml file right, I’m using the config below. Turns out hardly anyone uses jslint or jshint anymore ( http://www.npmtrends.com/eslint-vs-jscs-vs-jshint-vs-jslint ) so this is great!
But it’s NOT in the plugin library! You need to install manually.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <NotepadPlus> <linter extension=".js" command="C:\Users\jonski\AppData\Roaming\npm\eslint.cmd --format=checkstyle"/> </NotepadPlus>

Forgot to mention - npp 7.5.7 (32-bit); SessionMgr.dll (with 32-bit fix by chcg)

thanks :)

Hello Pavel,

And thank you for the quick fix.
