I want to make Geany use my preferred build commands. I can do it with a new project by using Build/Set build commands but then have to do it again for each project. Reading the manual I thought that all I needed to do was make a copy of the filetypes file and modify it. So, I copied /usr/share/geany/filetypes.cpp to .config/geany/filedef/filetypes.cpp and modified [build_settings] and [build_menu]
[build_settings] # %f will be replaced by the complete filename # %e will be replaced by the filename without extension # (use only one of it at one time) # compiler=builder compile source=%f #linker=g++ -Wall -o "%e" "%f" #run_cmd="./%e"
[build_menu] FT_00_LB=_compile FT_00_CM=b compile source=%f FT_00_BD=
NF_01_LB=_build NF_01_CM=b build NF_01_BD=
NF_02_LB=_clean NF_02_CM=b clean NF_02_BD=
NF_03_LB=_rebuild NF_03_CM=b rebuild NF_03_BD=
I created a new geany project, tried adding/creating .cpp but the build commands remain at their default settings. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
