Hey all,
After days of struggling with Scintilla and trying to get it talk to
PHP-GTK on Linux and Mac OS X, I finally decided to give up and try
getting GtkScintilla to build on Windows instead.
To my pleasant surprise, this wasn't so tough. After mangling with MinGW
for a while, I was able to churn out a DLL (two DLLs and one lib
actually). Er, I still can't build PHP-GTK so I can't test this as of
yet, but I'm sure Elizabeth or Steph will be able to do a proper build
of GtkScintilla.
Anyway, this means the Scintilla issue is more or less settled. Unless
someone is willing to get Scintilla to work on *nix. I still think we
should retain GtkScintilla since it has a more Gtk-ish API as compared
to pure Scintilla and clearly a lot saner.
If you want to check if the DLLs are any good, you can find them here:

This leaves us with just the Win32 installer for the beta. I'm thinking
June 7th is a good target for a release.
Cheers,
