/*! \mainpage QScintilla - a Port to Qt v5 and Qt v6 of Scintilla

Introduction

QScintilla is a port to Qt of the Scintilla editing component. As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code: QScintilla is a port or Scintilla to the Qt GUI toolkit from The Qt Company and runs on any operating system supported by Qt (eg. Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android). QScintilla works with Qt v5 and v6. QScintilla also includes language bindings for Python. These require that PyQt v5 or v6 is also installed. This version of QScintilla is based on Scintilla v3.10.1.

Licensing

QScintilla is available under the GNU General Public License v3 and the Riverbank Commercial License. The commercial license allows closed source applications using QScintilla to be developed and distributed. At the moment the commercial version of QScintilla is bundled with, but packaged separately from, the commercial version of PyQt. The Scintilla code within QScintilla is released under the following license:

Installation

As supplied QScintilla will be built as a shared library/DLL and installed in the same directories as the Qt libraries and include files. If you wish to build a static version of the library then pass CONFIG+=staticlib on the qmake command line. On macOS, if you wish to build a dynamic version of the library that supports both x86_64 and arm64 architectures then edit the file qscintilla.pro in the src directory and comment in the definition of QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS. Similar changes can be made to the .pro files for the Designer plugin and the example application. If you want to make more significant changes to the configuration then edit the file qscintilla.pro in the src directory. If you do make changes, specifically to the names of the installation directories or the name of the library, then you may also need to update the src/features/qscintilla2.prf file. See your qmake documentation for more details. To build and install QScintilla, run: 
    cd src
    qmake
    make
    make install
If you have multiple versions of Qt installed then make sure you use the correct version of qmake. The underlying Scintilla code may support additional compile-time options. These can be configured by passing appropriate arguments to qmake. For example, if you have an old C++ compiler that does not have a working std::regex then invoke qmake as follows: 
    qmake DEFINES+=NO_CXX11_REGEX=1

Installation on Windows

Before compiling QScintilla on Windows you should remove the Qsci directory containing the QScintilla header files from any previous installation. This is because the Makefile generated by qmake will find these older header files instead of the new ones. Depending on the compiler you are using you may need to run nmake rather than make. If you have built a Windows DLL then you probably also want to run: 
    copy %%QTDIR%\\lib\\qscintilla2.dll %%QTDIR%\\bin

Integration with qmake

To configure qmake to find your QScintilla installation, add the following line to your application's .pro file: 
    CONFIG += qscintilla2

Qt Designer Plugin

QScintilla includes an optional plugin for Qt Designer that allows QScintilla instances to be included in GUI designs just like any other Qt widget. To build the plugin on all platforms, make sure QScintilla is installed and then run (as root or administrator): 
    cd designer
    qmake
    make
    make install
On Windows (and depending on the compiler you are using) you may need to run nmake rather than make.

Example Application

The example application provided is a port of the standard Qt application example with the QsciScintilla class being used instead of Qt's QTextEdit class. The example does not demonstrate all of the extra features of QScintilla. To build the example, run: 
    cd example
    qmake
    make
On Windows (and depending on the compiler you are using) you may need to run nmake rather than make.

Python Bindings

The Python bindings are in the Python sub-directory. You must have either PyQt5 or PyQt6 already installed and PyQt-builder. QScintilla must also already be built and installed. The Python sub-directory contains a pyproject-qt5.toml file and a pyproject-qt6.toml file. If you are building for PyQt5 and Qt v5 then you must copy the pyproject-qt5.toml file to pyproject.toml. If instead you are building for PyQt6 and Qt v6 then you must copy the pyproject-qt6.toml file to pyproject.toml. To build and install the bindings, run: 
    cd Python
    sip-install
