I am running Slackware 12.0 with the stock gcc (4.1.2) and trying to build Geany 0.12. I get a compiler segfault from the closing brace of create_prefs_dialog in interface.c. this is the last line of the file.
I know it's probably a compiler bug, just wondered if it's a known problem and if there's anything that can be done about it. I've heard it's not very easy to upgrade the compiler. I didn't see anything in Google.
Thanks,

Hmm. Strange. I had the same trouble with a couple of other apps and found that after it happened once, it would work okay if I re-ran make. I should have tried that before writing. Not sure what's going on, but it's not nearly as big a problem now.
No idea what was going on but why don't you use Slackware's gcc version? Which is probably tested to work with the system. Anyway, I don't think this is a bug in gcc itself, more in your setup. But again, no real idea.
