    @ErwanDelhoveUCL said in Troubles building and executing NPP:

    the version I try to launch is located at “\visual.net \x64\Unicode Debug.”

    I don’t think it will run directly from there without “help”: I think you may have to copy some files into that folder as well first.

    I’m pretty sure to have the necessary files since there is no change on the branch I’m compiling…

    That’s not what I mean.
    Okay, here’s what I’d do as a quick test of your built exe:

    • Grab a released portable zip.

    • Unzip into a folder.

    • Put your build of notepad++.exe in that folder (overwriting the released one).

    • Try running that.

    I’m not saying for sure that this will solve the problem you cited, but it is worth trying.

      @Alan-Kilborn
      I did it with the most recent version(Notepad++ 7.9: Stand with Hong Kong) and it works fine.
      I think i found the issue: SciLexer.dll is baldy made or miss some elements(release version is bigger than generated one)

        So I’m not sure what your goals are for building Notepad++.
        Maybe just for fun?

        But if you are going to experiment and change code, then you want to do this in the “Debug” build.

        And with that it doesn’t matter if for Scintilla the “release version is bigger…”

        So I think your issues are all solved now?

          I think that you didn’t understand what I wanted to tell you.
          I 'm speaking of the SciLexer.dll that I generate myself for the last version of the project. I’ve put the SciLexer.dll version of the release in the debug folder. When I executed the debug version again, it worked!
          I deduct so that it was my generated SciLexer.dll who leads to the given error. Maybe I made a mistake in my command line or something like that. So I’m going to investigate there.

            Correct. :-)

            Hmm, I think if it builds, it should work.
            Again, as long as we are talking about a “debug” version of notepad++.exe running it.

              The x32 and x64 versions have different file sizes!

                    A new problem appear with this following command execution:
                    78940876-e0ca-49e9-913f-a0cc1e0daff8-image.png
                    FYI i use the x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017 as an adminstrator

                    I got this error in return.
                    It basically tell me that I should target the same processor. Because the Front end and Back end are not compatible.
                    ee12f393-e1d1-4c5f-953a-14a673814446-image.png

                    Any idea how to fix it?

                      I think I found a page for my error. Trying it right now and I will tell you if it works.

                        Yeah it works. Thanks to you guys(@Alan-Kilborn ,@andrecool-68 ). I finally succeed to run notepad++ (debug version) with my own generated Scintilla.dll(x64 version).

                        Maybe we should keep this discussion at disposal for other people encountering the same problem (and I’m also not the only one to have 64 processor version ;) ).

                        What do think? Maybe I should add tag or something else?

                            It can be even easier to build a project if you run it from these three bat-files:

                            Run as administrator x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017

                            call "full_file_path\x32_x64_START_BOOST.bat" Enter

                            @echo on

cd C:\sources\boost_1_70_0
call bootstrap.bat

cd C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\libs\regex\build
C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\b2.exe toolset=msvc link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=32 release stage
C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\b2.exe toolset=msvc link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64 release stage

md C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x32
md C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x64
copy C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\stage\lib\libboost_regex-vc141-mt-s-x32-1_70.lib C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x32
copy C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\stage\lib\libboost_regex-vc141-mt-s-x64-1_70.lib C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x64

exit

                            Run as administrator x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017

                            call "full_file_path\x32_START_SCINTILLA.bat" Enter

                            @echo on

cd C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\win32\

nmake -f scintilla.mak clean

nmake BOOSTPATH=C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\ BOOSTREGEXLIBPATH=C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x32\ -f scintilla.mak

copy /y "C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\bin\SciLexer.dll" "C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\PowerEditor\bin\SciLexer32.dll"

exit

                            Run as administrator x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017

                            call "full_file_path\x64_START_SCINTILLA.bat" Enter

                            @echo on

cd C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\win32\

nmake -f scintilla.mak clean

cd C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\win32\
nmake BOOSTPATH=C:\sources\boost_1_70_0\ BOOSTREGEXLIBPATH=C:\tmp\boostregexLib\x64\ -f scintilla.mak

copy /y "C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\scintilla\bin\SciLexer.dll" "C:\notepad-plus-plus-master\PowerEditor\bin\SciLexer64.dll"

exit
