Robert,

Couple of comments to add to Geoffs comments.

1) you don't configure anything in an existing Geany to build Geany, else where would we start :) As Geoffs references say, its a totally command line operation.

2) You didn't say where you got the source, but use the tarball source code instead of cloning github if you just want to build. The tarball has a few things pre-built so you need less tools.

3) be aware you need _development_ packages of some of the libraries which Debian based distros make separate from the runtime packages, eg GTK.

4) I'm not Pi literate so can't give any specific directions, and also Geany is not tested (at least by the devs) on ARM processors.

Cheers Lex

If you are building Geany from source, should you not be consulting https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html section installation?

You could also look at https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.geany.org/ [Geany-Users] proper upgrade technique.

I also found this when I was searching: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=263730

Greetings all,

1^st of all I want to give Lex kudos for the previous absolutely QUICK response to my 2 previous requests.

2^nd – I have been using Geany on my 3 PI-4’s for approximately 2-3 years. I’m, by no means. A pro yet—still learning.

3^rd – Since it seems a long time between the Raspberry IOS to include the later Geany updates, I would like to compile the v 1.37.1 code.

             I have downloaded the Geany source code and put it on

my development PI-4 according to Lex’s instructions.

I’ve tried to follow Lex’s https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu User Guide.

I get to the part about setting up the Set Build Commands and I get confused. I don’t intend to make any changes to the code. I just want to a bit newer than 1.33.

One final question: what character can be used as the 1^st character of a folder name to make it appear at the top of the FileManager listing?

Thanks,

Bob
