ANN: geany-plugins now require Geany 0.16
by Frank Lanitz 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi, I just wanted to leave a note for everybody who is not reading the the svn mailing list. I've just upgraded the minimum dependencies for Geany plugins project to 0.16 since most of the included plugins will not compile with any version below. Please note, I only did the change on waf build support. Plugin maintainer that are using autotools needs to update the dependencies on their own ;) Cheers, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/

Deep editor customization....
by Jimmy Paillet 09 May '09

09 May '09

Hello Geany developers, I just wanted to say a few words about the editor customization (syntax highlighting and the likes)... While the possibilties of customization are good already (and probably more than enough) I always somehow missed the possibility of defining different fonts/size for different styles... It's not so important, so I let it go, until I used SciTE for a while...and passed to level of customization that was such a luxury that it was hard to let go... Now, it might have been obvious to most of you but I figured since Geany use scintilla as well, it must have the same possibilities and sure enough with some hacking of the source, i got where I wanted...see screenshot to have a better idea http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4089/geanyscreenshot.png multi-font/size possibilities, perfect dark background for the folding bar, bigger choice of markers, size of the margins... it's not much but it counts in the long run... and geany is even better than before in my eyes now.... Now, to the main point, I understand the aim of developing a lightweight sober IDE....so right from the bat, confusing the user with millions of possibility of customization might not be suited... I'm kinda testing the water here...if this extra customization matters to people, I could clean up my hacks...and come up (or anyone willing to) come up with a system to implement it... in any case, it would be nice to have this possibilites mentionned in Hacking Geany at least...I'm sure some people would be glad to find the infos... Cheers, Jimmy

Build System Recent Commit
by Lex Trotman 07 May '09

07 May '09

Hi Guys, Sorry for no progress, Ive been busy finishing off work as my contract ends at the end of the month (TODAY!!!). Now I will have time to finish what I set out to do for you since it is likely to be a while before the next contract starts. I just committed to build-system a change to add a build commands tab to the project properties dialog to save project commands from. To save you building the branch, I've attached a screen shot. The XXX will of course have the correct filetype when some code gets behind the dialog. I propose to use the same for the Build menu 'set build commands' (or whatever we are calling it) dialog. After some thought I propose to put the error regex in both because as you change the compiler it is likely that you may need to change the regex. So having one associated with each set of commands is useful. I appreciate that there will probably be no comments til after the 0.17 release. I'll just keep plodding on. Cheers Lex PS Enrico, I can't help with the Addons problem since I am Autotools illiterate, I didn't even *look* in configure.in or I'd have seen the todo. Some of these build-system changes are to allow me to use alternatives to Autotools..

Win32 Compiling Issues
by Joshua Leung 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi, I hope I'm not posting this on the wrong list. I'm trying to build Geany on Windows Vista, following the Windows build instructions at: http://www.geany.org/Support/BuildingOnWin32 Even after adding a localwin32.mk file and changing the PREFIX as suggested, I still get lregex.c:22:18: glib.h: No such file or directory when compiling through the MSYS shell. If I used the standard command prompt, there's the makefiles would balk on the missing 'make' command. As per the instructions, I've downloaded all the required libs to "C:\libs\" and added that to my environment variables. I grabbed the Geany source (trunk) using Tortoise SVN Am I missing something here regarding compiling using makefiles? PS: when grabbing the dependencies, http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html no longer lists the required ones, but points to http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/ instead Thanks, Aligorith

>I would definitely love it, it looks fantastic. I'm not sure if it >counts as bloat if scintilla already implements it. >Btw, what font are you using there? The one with the slightly rotated >'e' I mean >Best regards. The font is Monofur, a font that deserved to be known more in the small and rather unexciting world of free Monospace fonts.... it can be pick up on dafont.com... As for the rest, I'm of course not talking about reimplementing what scintilla does.... currently I just force geany to setup more scintilla parameters, that's all...no crazy coding...i just needed to find where in the code to it and play around with parameters... so when I say implement, i just mean a proper scheme to allow a user to setup those parametes without modifying the source code by hand...(something like a filetype.toto.extended....) cheers, jimmy

ANN: String freeze for Geany 0.17
by Frank Lanitz 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi translators and friends of Geany, I'm glad to announce string freeze for Geany 0.17 which will be released not far in future after about three month of developing. I'd be very happy if you could send a patch or complete file with translation to either the geany-i18n mailing list or direct to me within the next week so we can include it to the next release. Deadline will be 09-05-01. To make it more easy for you I've already uploaded updated versions of the po files to svn with r3726. You can access them as always at http://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geany/trunk/po/ or by checking out the svn tree of Geany by using e.g. svn co https://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany/trunk geany Fans of git can also use the interface provided by http://git.geany.org by using git clone http://git.geany.org/git/geany Also at http://i18n.geany.org/ are statistics and daily updated files available. As mentioned before, we are trying to have all translations complete by 2009-05-01. If your language was translated by two or more in past, please double check directly with them or by pinging me, so we don't need to translate same things two or three times. Also please feel to ping me for every question or if you like to start a new translation for an unsupported language. Thanks and happy translating ;) Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/

[Win32, Build] Running build commands synchronously?
by Enrico Tröger 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hey guys. (For the impatient, scroll to the end of the mail.) Some of you might that on Windows, running some commands opens an extra console window and so capturing the program's output is not possible. That happens e.g. when compiling, linking, or running make commands in Geany on Windows. There is a long story behind, IMO that should be fixed in GLib's spawn commands but recently I read Tor, the responsibly dev, said this is not GLib's job but instead in the app's reponsibility. This is all ok but I and probably Nick too, won't write any code using the Windows API and CreateProcess() just to get it working. Some time ago, I added some code to the Windows port that creates an additional console window on startup of Geany, this can be activated by the "-v" command line option. This has the advantage, when running a compiler or make or whatever, no extra console window will open and we can capture the program's output. But of course, it isn't nice to have always this extra console window open. And more importantly, with this window, the Run commands sometimes[1] don't work at all or cause weird behaviour[2]. This extra console window was also never intended for daily use, just as a little help when testing code on Windows. There are two ways to go: a) fix all these problems by writing a lot new code around Windows' CreateProcess() API and make it all working b) run Builds commands on Windows synchronously for what we have already that CreateProcess() code in Geany (done by Pierre Joye, many many thanks) Solution A would be of course the best one and desirable but it needs someone to write the code and with the necessary knowledge and time to do this. So, I'd vote for solution B, attached is a quick hack on the src/build.c with the necessary changes. Tested and seems to work. Instead of running the Build commands asynchronously, they are run directly. This also has disadvantages: a) the whole Geany window freezes while the Build command is running b) the output is "sorted", that is, first the program's stdout is put into the Compiler window, then the program's stderr But therefore we have the advantage that the build system on Windows gets more usable. ### ### END ### ### So, to not be even more boring with details, the final question is: Are there any objections in using the attached patch and making the Build commands on Windows running synchronously? [1] for some commands, only noticed while testing code, not sure why [2] In #2723005, the user reported 100% CPU usage when using the Run command. There was also a related issue with running Java apps on Windows, IIRC. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc

This was something which I liked to do for a long time, today I finally did it: the extra options like the combo boxes for setting a specific filetype or encoding are now hidden by default and can be easily shown by clicking on the new expander "More Options" or by pressing Alt-M. I also removed the filename field which isn't necessary at all, at least not with newer GTK versions as those provide a location entry at the top of the file open dialog (toggle the "Edit" icon in the top left corner of the dialog). And GTK's location entry even provides auto completion which is pretty cool. If there are any big complaints about this change, raise your voice now! :) Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc

API: GEANY_FILETYPES_NONE = 0, sorted filetype IDs randomly
by Nick Treleaven 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi all, I've updated the filetype IDs so we can add filetypes without breaking the plugin ABI. I'm not sure if this will affect any of geany-plugins, but if so, it shouldn't take long to fix. Just let me know if you find anything this breaks, in the core or elsewhere.
