**Q:**
+I'm trying to compile Textadept from one of the download packages, but get some
+obscure errors in the `scintilla/term/`, `gtdialog/`, or `scintillua/`
+directories. What happened?
+
+**A:**
+Some of the dependencies Textadept downloads are the latest archives in their
+respective version control repositories. Occasionally there are compile-time
+incompatibilities with these "bleeding-edge" downloads. The solution is to go to
+the appropriate repository and download the archive tagged for the version of
+Textadept you downloaded.
+
+For example, if you have Textadept 7.1 and cannot build the terminal version due
+to a file in the `scintilla/term/` directory, go to [scinterm hg][] and look for
+the "for\_textadept\_7.1" tag, click on it, download the [zip][], and replace
+the problematic file.
