 as far as Thunderbird takes me on this thread, it's not clear on the term "Snap Open" that the OP used.<BR><BR>> The make script just does the minimum to get it working.  You run it with ./make (it's a bash script).<BR><BR>Having looked briefly at your coding skills, I can assure you that it's fully within your grasp to understand how "proper" GNU Make files go, it's just a little weird at first. I don't mean to say you should understand the full Geany-Plugins build system(s), but I mean in general you shouldn't have any problem writing a basic Make file. For example:<BR><BR>    quick-opener.so: quick-opener.o<BR>        $(CC) -o $@ $^ `pkg-config --libs geany`<BR><BR>    quick-opener.o: quick-opener.c<BR>        $(CC) -c -fPIC `pkg-config --cflags geany` -o $@ $<<BR><BR>    install:<BR>        cp quick-opener.so ~/.config/geany/plugins/<BR><BR> 
   clean:<BR>        rm -f *.o *.so<BR><BR>Not that it matters, I just say for your own interest because I remember writing such a shell script as you have made before, not realizing how simple a basic Make file could be.<BR><BR>> When I say nearly complete, I mean that you can't configure the plugin yet with directories/files to exclude.  It already excludes hidden directories, certain binary extensions, and starts at the project's working directory.<BR>> <BR>> I haven't made a pull request yet because I don't have the packaging stuff done (documentation, build stuff I need help with).<BR>> <BR><BR>Come ask on IRC or here on devel-list with questions. If you can write reasonable C code, then the rest is just crusty old m4 nonsense. I think everyone has problems groking Autotools and/or Waf, at least at first.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Matthew Brush<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Devel mailing
