I support @elextr's request for docs, https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2761#issuecomment-809698447 helped.
On configure, I got: ``` po/meson.build:6:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: /bin/sh: 1: gawk: not found ``` which seems to be a new dependency. As it is just used (AFAIK) to generate a list of names of the available languages, this can done also with a Python oneliner or maybe even with Meson itself?
At the end of the compilation I got a few warnings which might be interesting: ``` msgfmt: ../po/LINGUAS does not exist ../geany.desktop.in:5:0: warning: invalid non-blank line ../geany.desktop.in:6:0: warning: invalid non-blank line ../geany.desktop.in:7:0: warning: invalid non-blank line ../geany.desktop.in:14:0: warning: invalid non-blank line [247/247] Linking target plugins/libsplitwindow.so meson compile -C build 464.85s user 38.27s system 353% cpu 2:22.13 total ``` Tested on ArchLinux and Debian Testing.
For reference, here is my `geany.desktop.in`: ``` [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 _Name=Geany _GenericName=Integrated Development Environment _Comment=A fast and lightweight IDE using GTK+ Exec=geany %F Icon=geany Terminal=false Categories=GTK;Development;IDE;TextEditor; MimeType=text/plain;text/x-chdr;text/x-csrc;text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-java;text/x-dsrc;text/x-pascal;text/x-perl;text/x-python;application/x-php;application/x-httpd-php3;application/x-httpd-php4;application/x-httpd-php5;application/xml;text/html;text/css;text/x-sql;text/x-diff; StartupNotify=true _Keywords=Text;Editor; ```
