Sorry to be kind of spammy today. Just ran into what looks like a build error? I cloned the git repo, ran autogen.sh, and make is giving me this error:
-------------
CC utils.o CC vte.o CXXLD geany ld: unknown option: --export-dynamic
-------------
This is on osx Lion. Any suggestions?

Yep, this and your last problem were both things I had to figure out too. This export dynamic problem is because Geany doesn't deal with OSX separately and lumps it in with "non-Windows" in the Makefile. Unfortunately this linker flag is invalid on OSX but is needed on Linux (and others?) for Glade to connect to the signal handlers at runtime.
Quick Fix: Just delete everywhere you see `-Wl,--export-dynamic` in the Makefile.am files (probably only in `src/Makefile.am`). We can't do this in Geany proper because it won't work correctly on Linux then.
Real Fix: In the configure.ac, detect OSX somehow and do an AM_CONDITIONAL or something like this so that the Makefile can set the LDFLAGS differently for OSX than other Unices. If done correctly, a patch would be most welcome. I can't remember if I fixed this properly in my changes or if I just did the quick fix.
Cheers, Matthew Brush

...or we could drop our flag and let GModule pkg-config flags deal with it. Fixed with commit https://github.com/geany/geany/commit/d11f9a51b939bf39c3c1676ab823147d460ede...

Nice! Still would be nice to have a way to handle OSX differently in the Makefiles though since there's a lot of OSX specific stuff needed should the changes ever be submitted/merged.

Nice! I pulled this change and was able to build successfully. I'm now seeing the geany app up and running at version 1.23>=d11f9a5.
Looks like the paste bug is here so ... time to get a-hunting. The version of Geany from the openenterprise fellows pasted ok... would it be worthwhile comparing the two codebases? Any suggestions where to start as far as chasing the issue down?
