Hi all,
I just made a test build of Geany Plugins 1.22 for Windows.
A little surprisingly for me, it all worked fine on the first attempt :).
I only had problems loading the Geany-Lua plugin with some strange error
message which I didn't investigate yet:
http://pastebin.geany.org/EUmwJ/
The error message occurs on plugin loading. I'm not sure whether it is
caused by my system or something else.
If anyone wants to test it, any feedback is appreciated.
The installer...
http://www.uvena.de/tmp/geany-plugins-1.22_setup_testbuild.exe
... requires an existing Geany 1.22 installation.
Regards,
Enrico

I want to say, that it would be nice, if a DocumentMap/MiniMap would be added to Geany. Please add it to the Wishlist on your side.
Notepad++ have something called "Document Map":
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/assets/images/docMap.png
Sublime Text have something called "MiniMap":
http://www.sublimetext.com/screenshots/new_theme_large.png
Since some time, Kate have a MiniMap, too:
http://kate-editor.org/2012/11/03/busy-katekdevelop-sprint-results-in-mini-…
All three have a line, where with very small fonts a bigger part of the document is shown and the current visible part of the Textarea have a colored background in the map.
But they differ in additional functionality of it.
Where Sublime Text only shows the MiniMap, Kate on the other side, can replace the scrollbar with it. And on Notepad++ it is a mix between the two. The scrollbar is still there, but you can click in parts of the Document Map, to jump to that position.
An additional point I want to mention, is a bug in your Webside-software.
As I wanted to add this wish to the wishlist, I clicked at the bottom of the page on "edit this page" of the line "(If you have another idea/wish which should be listed here, edit this page)".
Then it asks for a username and password. Because I don't have an account for it, and I find no place to register, I have somewhat input. After that it shows be an empty page and Geany.org was no longer available.
I thought, it would be an coincidental/hazard/fortuity/hap, that that happens.
But now there was again Geany.org reachable, then I tried it again. And again the Geany-side was after that down. :-(
So please update your Geany homepage software. Or it is really a very big coincidental/hazard/fortuity/hap, that in two times the Geany side goes in that time down, I tried to login there.

Hi,
This is a bit rambling but I'm kind of stuck now.
I hadn't kept up to date with git master for a while. I ran into trouble
with the windows makefiles (makefile.win32) - GTK was not defined even
though -DGTK is passed. So I hacked PlatGTK.cxx to define it manually,
but on running the resultant Geany aborts - a backtrace showed some
Scintilla code (Document::Document) causing the fault. (I also had to
remove -liberty as that doesn't seem to be part of my MinGW install).
Anyway, I gave up trying to fix the makefiles and tried Waf. It seemed
to work, but now when using Geany autocompletion shows an empty list. It
keeps doing this for a while on typing, then later I start typing again
and Geany freezes - this is not a hang, task manager doesn't show Geany
using CPU. I have to kill it. This is weird, and annoying because I
don't know how to get a backtrace (Ctrl-Z doesn't seem to work on my
Windows gdb, and anyway the process seems stuck rather than looping). I
suspect a fault with Scintilla, but it could be unrelated.
I also noticed Waf doesn't seem to use -mms-bitfields, but I'm not certain.
Hi All, and especially build system maintainers :)
I have made a pull request[0] to cleanup the symbol exports of Geany.
The PR description pretty much covers the details. If I merge this, it's
going to break the makefile.win32 files, Waf and possibly the Win32
Nightly builds.
I can probably fix-up the makefile.win32 files if nobody else will as
it's just plain GNU make and should be similar changes as the Autotools.
It will require a couple more *nix utilities, namely `sed`, `sort`, and
`uniq` (or a `sort` that supports the `-u` option). A quick search finds
sed[1] and coreutils[2] which contains `sort` (probably with -u option)
and `uniq`. I assume MSYS also includes these common utils.
I don't really know enough about Waf to fix it. Since it needs Python
anyway, we could just use one of its XML libraries to grab the names
from the GtkBuilder file, and do the replacements using its
text-handling functions. It wouldn't require sed/sort utils. I
originally had a Python script[3] doing this, but I'm just not sure how
to integrate that code into Waf.
If the Win32 Nightlies break it will most likely be trivial changes to
the Makefile.ams. I don't have an environment like it uses to test.
Geany-Plugins Autotools should be fine since it will pickup the new
library from the pkg-config flags. There's a couple bugs in some (of my)
plugins where it misses the needed linker flags which are trivial to
fix. I don't know if Waf uses pkg-config or what, but if not, it will
need to add the equivalent of something like `-L/geanys/lib/dir -lgeany`
to be able to find and link to the new library.
Is everyone OK if this PR was merged to master and we had to fix up some
build system stuff? Alternatively, I could also add anyone for push
rights on my geany fork or push it to a branch on main geany repo if we
wanted to sort-out the integration issues before merging to the main
master branch.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush

Hi,
I've built new Windows installers from current GIT master against a GTK
2.24 development environment and the GTK 2.24 runtime environment is
also included in the full installer.
This is a preparation step for future releases which should be shipped
with a recent GTK runtime on Windows.
Downloads can be found here:
http://download.geany.org/snapshots/
Please note that these are test builds from the current development
version, don't expect release quality.
You have been warned :).
But after you installed the snapshots, you can also use the nightly
builds again on Windows (i.e. copy the archive contents over the
installation).
I noticed two issues so far which I have not yet debugged yet:
- auto completion popup is rendered incorrectly
- some icons are missing/not displayed correctly
Screenshots for both issues are attached.
The icon problem seems to be somewhat related to g_themed_icon_new() but
I'm not yet sure. I just had a quick look at the code.
@Lex: somewhere you said you used Geany with the GTK 2.24 runtime in the
past. Did you notice the icon problem?
Regards,
Enrico
