I'm just a software user. I never built a software before.
Oh, ok, for some reason I thought you had built Geany before, so thanks in advance.
You will need some tools, I'm not sure of the commands on Ubuntu, I use Synaptic to install them, build-essential
and the libgtk-3-dev
development packages. Don't bother with the tools to build the manual, see the extra option on the configure
command below.
Ok, create a directory in your home, say geany_build
and untar the nightly tarball there. I think it will create a directory called geany_git
so cd to it then:
./configure --prefix=/the/full/path/to/home/geany_build --disable-html-docs
make install
cd ../bin
./geany -c ../config
This will build an isolated version of geany and run it with its own config, so it won't touch your system install or your user config, so you can play to your hearts content :-)
And just delete the whole directory tree geany_build
to remove it when done.
I suggest you build it from the tarball first and confirm the problem still occurs, then comment out the parts of src/editor.c
using an editor, might I suggest Geany (your newly built version ;-) run make install
again and see if it makes any difference (don't forget to cd back and forward to the right directory geany-git
to run make install
and bin
to run ./geany -c ../config
.
