+README for building of Scintilla on Qt

+

+There are three different Scintilla libraries that can be produced:

+

+	ScintillaEditBase

+A basic widget callable from C++ which is small and can be used just as is 

+or with higher level functionality added.

+

+	ScintillaEdit

+A more complete C++ widget with a method for every Scintilla API and a

+secondary API allowing direct access to document objects.

+

+	ScintillaEditPy

+A Python callable version of ScintillaEdit using the PySide bindings.

+

+	Building a library

+

+ScintillaEditBase can be built without performing any generation steps.

+The ScintillaEditBase/ScintillaEditBase.pro project can be loaded into 

+Qt Creator and the "Build All" command performed.

+Alternatively, run "qmake" to build make files and then use the platform

+make to build. Most commonly, use "make" on Unix and "nmake"

+on Windows.

+

+ScintillaEdit requires a generation command be run first. From the 

+ScintillaEdit directory:

+

+python WidgetGen.py

+

+After the generation command has run, the ScintillaEdit.h and

+ScintillaEdit.cpp files will have been populated with the Scintilla API

+methods. 

+To build, use Qt Creator or qmake and make as for ScintillaEditBase.

+

+ScintillaEditPy is more complex and instructions are found in 

+ScintillaEditPy/README.
