I'm trying to hack geany (0.18, for the moment) with a custom LexScheme.cxx scintilla lexer, build specifically for GNU Guile Scheme.

I don't know scheme, but make sure you've seen the Lisp scintilla lexer.

I'm in trouble at the moment for a curious seg-fault I get loading an *.scm file

Would a gdb backtrace help?

I'm wondering how to insert some debugging code in the lexer module, where as the good old fprintf(stderr, ..) dont work at all. Can't include the geany_debug() function in the lexer module, right?

I don't know Scintilla lexer code, but have you tried C++ std::cout?

You should probably ask on the scintilla mailing list.
