Thanks for the reply and your efforts!
I'll probably try some of this starting tomorrow afternoon, but, just for the
record, the programmer did fine -- he modified the program and got it working on
his Ubuntu system, and created a binary for me. The problem now is to get the
binary to work on my Wheezy or Jessie system.
Of course, looking at what you did, maybe I should get the source of his
changes and then try compiling it myself (in a sid chroot). I guess the C++
in sid is C++17? (I'm not sure how much code in scite / scintilla actually
uses C++17 features, nor if the lexer he is writing for me uses C++17
features.)
