I've been trying to address #1141 and come to a point where the next logical step seems to be to step through Geany's / Scintilla's code in order to understand what is happening. Has someone else gotten some sort of debugger working on this codebase before? I've tried to get GDB working but I can't get it to find the source files.
I read HACKING and then ran CFLAGS='-g -O0' ./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs to get debug symbols, and ran make. I then tried running gdb src/geany. GDB complained that src/geany was not an executable. I examined src/geany and found it was in fact a shell script. After a bit of digging I found the src/.libs/ folder which contained an executable which if I ran it directly opened up a Geany instance. So I tried running gdb /src/.libs/geany which seemed to work except that GDB only knows about main.c and its header file. I looked up how to tell GDB about where source files are and I found this page of the manual. I then ran dir src inside GDB and that added the correct folder to the search path, but GDB still couldn't find the source files.
I haven't really used GDB before, so a) I might be missing something regarding operating GDB itself, and b) if someone has a way to debug Geany using another method, that's fine with me!
