So I did a quick try to build Geany 1.38 for EPEL7, right now the problem is that `./configure` already fails with this message:
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.X4sTL9 (%build) Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.X4sTL9 (%build)
Ok, thats not one that is fixable in a practical sense, Scintilla versions after the 3.x.x stable versions do require C++17, and the changes between the old version and the new versions (two major versions after all) have too many changes to be practical to support both.
I'm afraid this is not possible to build without immense effort unless anyone else has an idea? Does one of you guys know if it's possible to install flatpaks on CentOS 7? Probably that could be an idea then?
Well, I guess Flatsnaps, dockers or other containerised mechanisms would maybe allow for a newer C++ compiler to build against a newer runtime. Docker is used to do the Windows cross compiles and CI now. Would need to run in the container too so the newer C++ runtime library was available I guess. But I am no container expert.

No need to ask in the RedHat Bugzilla at all as I'm reading here as well. ;) I remember there were issues building Geany 1.38 for CentOS 7, but I don't remember what issues that was in detail, though. I'll retry as soon as I can and will let you know. Either I can tell you what the issue is or probably there will be an update.
Thank you, if its a dependency thats too olde I guess there won't be much we can do, but its good to know what the problem is.
Cheers Lex

Lex, is there anything I can do if you want to look into this? I would love to have 1.38 - and hopefully 1.39 - available for CentOS 7.
You could ask on Centos bugzilla what the problem was.
I don't want to sound negative, so lets call it being pragmatic ;-P
Centos 7 has one year of maintenance updates left, IIUC maintenance updates mean security and bugfixes, no new versions, so 1.38 or 1.39 doesn't seem likely to happen.
We try to keep Geany git working on Ubuntu LTS (that is what Github CI uses) but no guarantees on older things and without any info about what failed we can't do much.

But does not Red Hat Developer Toolset 10.x support C/C++17? See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_developer_toolset/12/h.... Although I myself have an earlier version of the Developer Toolset installed on my own computer, it seems that the latest release, Developer Toolset 12 even supports C/C++20?
If my reading is correct, it would seem the compiler requirement can be met?
