500 MBytes to my file system --- lightweight ???
Those are things required for **development** we never said that was lightweight :wink:
The Geany and Geany-common runtime packages are <11Mb according to synaptic, thats lightweight.
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.32 gio-2.0 >= 2.32 gmodule-no-export-2.0) were not met:
You did remember to run `apt-get build-deps geany` again on this new VM? Remember you need development packages to build against those libraries, even if the runtime is already installed.
sudo apt-get install gtk2.0 ./configure --enable-gtk3
Ummmm, you installed GTK2 then enabled GTK3 :grin:
And as I said above, you need the -dev packages to compile against, not just the runtime packages.
00:56:19: Geany INFO : GTK 3.22.30, GLib 2.56.1
Yeah, the Ubuntu standard is GTK3 as suspected.
