Is anyone aware of a Cygwin build for Geany? I've seen this issue pop-up once on the ml this year, without a clear outcome. The reason
I compiled Geany in Cygwin once. According to the modification time of http://uvena.de/tmp/cygwin_xfce.png, this was in January 2007 :). I don't have the build environment anymore nor any idea how I did this. And also no idea whether Geany would still compile in Cygwin as the code changed a lot since early 2007. But it's probably worth a try if you want :).
I would need a Cygwin build is that I would like to use Geany for R programming, that is make use of its embedded vte terminal. Perhaps there is another way to get a terminal in the Windows build of Geany? Other ideas?
Nope, sorry.
I haven't heard of anyone getting VTE working with Geany on Windows. I don't know about Windows Cygwin builds either, we use MinGW.
It may be possible to build VTE on Windows, but Geany would probably require some small changes to work with it.
There is a bug report about porting VTE to Windows: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369310
Unfortunately, there wasn't much process lately.
