Hi everyone, in the last couple of weeks I've been playing with Geany on OS X and
got it to the state where Geany is fully functional, integrated with OS X and have a self-contained app bundle so Geany can be distributed without any additional external dependencies. Apart from the few limitations listed below I'm not aware of any problems.
This is where I would find it very useful if the brave souls among you
who are not scared of running unknown binaries from the Internet and who use OS X could try out the binaries I uploaded here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2554438/Geany-1.25git.dmg
Any feedback is welcome.
Features:
- Integrated menubar
- Opening files from Finder using Open With
- Opening files using drag and drop to Geany icon
- Double-click on project file in Finder opens the project
- Retina font rendering
- All basic plugins (without extra dependencies) and themes included
by default
Limitations:
- The VTE terminal is missing (VTE doesn't work, seems to be a problem
in VTE itself)
- Scrolling the editor window is somewhat slow using the mouse
Requirements:
- OS X 10.7 or higher (I have tested just with Yosemite)
- x64 processor
I will try to get all the necessary patches into Geany mainline (some
are already being reviewed, some - the integration ones - I haven't published yet) and will make a github project with the app bundle creation instructions + all the necessary config files, themes, icons, etc. I also plan to provide OS X binaries for all the future Geany releases.
Cheers,
Jiri

I have not been able to replicate the scrolling issue you have, however the build works fine and it saved me hours of compiling it myself from scratch (had an ancient 0.20 build i compiled myself years ago that i have used up until now) and i thank you alot for that
I am very interested in seeing a github project of this in the future. As it will make it possible for us geany users to keep using geany without any issues on OS X :)
