      Hi,

      I want to contribute code to Notepad++. I synced the repo from GitHub into Visual Studio, but I am not sure how to build the solution. I tried building the solution, but I got a lot of errors, which shouldn’t be happening since I forked the master branch.

      Which files do I need and don’t I need a main() function to run? The only one I found is in x.cpp, but I am not sure how to run that either.

      Thanks.
