Looks like the Intltool rule for generating Desktop files is not portable across Make implementations, it seems to be using GNU make `%` rules…

@andy5995 did you run autogen.sh, or did you use a tarball with a pre-generated configure? If you didn't run autogen, maybe try it as I could hope that the BSD port of intltool might have a BSD-Make-compatible rule. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to use GNU Make.

It'd like to have a fix for this, but I'm not sure if it's worth maintaining our own version of the rule. Maybe reporting it to upstream intltool if it still exists.

I ran `CXX=eg++ CC=egcc ./autogen.sh`

Probably not. I ran `gmake` now and it's working. Maybe just a doc update? I noticed that BSD isn't listed on [the HowTos](https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/start).

Does this help (note latest commit) https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/devel/geany/Makefile

PS Open BSD isn't in the how tos because its in the Third Party Packages page where it says "use the ports".

@elextr I really think the only problem is that because of the mentioned intltool snippet our makefiles are dependent on GNU make. The rest seemed to go well, or at least isn't the reason of the problem form the OP.

About howtos, it's probably mostly because nobody wrote one, which you could do if you felt like it as it's a wiki ;) And as @elextr mentioned, we mention the port on the [third party packages page](https://www.geany.org/Download/ThirdPartyPackages#openBSD) already, so maybe not so many people wondered.

@b4n, yeah, as I said in the edit the port makefile has `GMAKE=yes`, basically it seems to me that it should be the reference for "how to" build Geany for BSD.

As I'm pretty new to BSD, my goal was just a little testing, to see if I could build geany ok and to see if any docs about it needed updating.

Yeah, I kinda do feel like it :)

I created https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2053 for that.
