No 64bit version for Notepad++ v7

[piotr-cz]

Notepad++ v7 is available in both 32bit and 64bit editions.

EditorConfig plugin v0.3.1 doesn't work in the latter one.

[ffes]

And as Don writes on the release page of Notepad++ 7 only a few 64-bit plugins exist. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7-released.html

I haven't even taken a look on how difficult it is to build 64-bit plugins and what problems to expect. I don't see myself running the 64-bit version any time soon because too many plugins are missing. So I will stick with the 32-bit for while.

Having said that, you are right. There has to be a 64-bit version of the plugin.

[piotr-cz]

I've updated Notepad++ to v7 using Chocolatey which automatically picked 64bit edition so without reading release notes.

I may switch to 32bit edition because at this moment even Plugin manager isn't compatible with 64bit.

I'll mark this issue on my TODO list. Thanks for the reporting!

If more developers like developer of this plugin makes 64bit versions, the problem of "only a few 64-bit plugins exist" would be resolved soon.

Hi,

I've build a x64 version from master with pcre (8.38) and editorconfig-core-c (master). Please have a try.

If all is working, i will provied build information.

I have just tried to build the x64 version. The only difference is to select the Win64 generator in CMake, and everything works fine. So I think it is a trivial task to add it to the plugin manager list.

To add the x64 version to the plugin manager list, we need to:

• [ ] Host the x64 dll somewhere, maybe on SourceForge or GitHub release.
• [ ] Create a PR to bruderstein/npp-plugins-x64, to include the meta info of this plugin.

@wangqr Awesome! Do you wanna look into #16 ?

[wangqr]

Currently this project is building using CMake, and the README.md is quite clear about how to build the plugin. Are the scripts in #16 used for automated build/release? I haven't used PowerShell scripts before, maybe I'll take a look.

[viceice]

Please have a look. I've prepared the scripts from #16 for automated build. I can provide them in any other language when required. ;)

We use the 64bit build on production without problems.

Regards Michael

@ViceIce, I've been using the 64-bit version you linked above for the whole month now and haven't seen any issues.

[piotr-cz]

@ViceIce Thanks! 👍 Looks like it's working fine

[Predelnik]

Is there any progress on this issue? Could at least x64 version be added to releases even if build scripts are not perfect?

[chcg]

See https://ci.appveyor.com/project/xuhdev/editorconfig-notepad-plus-plus/build/1.0.3/job/n4lic6kswnt840wb/artifacts. @xuhdev How about creation of a new release?

[chcg]

@ffes @xuhdev Do you have a timeframe to release a x64 version? With the appveyor config that is available by just a few steps.

[AnyOldName3]

This is still not showing up in the plugin manager for me, but it looks like there've been no actual issues for a year.

[chcg]

@xuhdev Why is this issue closed? I see a working appveyor build, but no release yet. Appveyor artifacts are just available for 6 month. PluginManager and N++ PluginAdmin need a zip package (with the dll in the root dir) to add a new release version to the plugin lists.

[ffes]

Version 0.4.0 had been released. This release should solve this issue, therefore I am closing this issue.

Note that the plugin is not yet available in the builtin Plugin Admin of Notepad++. I opened notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList#63 to update that. When the plugin will be available in Notepad++ itself is beyond us, but you can download and manually install it from the releases page.
