Frank and others,
Is there something that describes how to go about adding a plugin to geany-plugins? That describes the build system requirements for non-autotools experts etc.
I couldn't find anything.
The HACKING file has some good project information:
https://github.com/geany/**geany-plugins/blob/master/**HACKINGhttps://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/blob/master/HACKING
"for non autotools experts" I said, that includes not knowing how to program in m4 :-)
Yeah I had originally typed a little rant about it in my last email that I removed to avoid being negative/complainy, but I believe it went something like this:
To add an already written plugin to Geany-Plugins you have to learn (at least a little of):
- m4 and gp-specific set of m4 functions
- bash/shell
- gnu make
- autoconf
- automake
- python
- waf
- mingw/win32-isms
IMO, that's a pretty hefty list of tangential tech.
