I have tried to build geany on both my linux and Windows Xp boxes.

In both cases I cloned http://git.geany.org/git/geany

I then cd:/ into geany and used ./configure. However I keep receiving this error. I checked the install doc in the downloaded file and it appears its supposed to be a simple ./configure, make, make install process.

Its just not working for me though.

# This is from my mingw shell.

renshaw@RenshawResidence ~ $ cd c:/geany

renshaw@RenshawResidence /c/geany $ ./configure sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

[...]

Short: run ./autogen.sh before, then follow standard instructions.

Long: the procedure described in the README & co is the one for *distributed source tarballs*, not those stored in the VCS. Actually, configure is generated from configure.ac by the autogen.sh script, but configure is distributed as part of the released source tarballs for different reasons (one being it's part of the build system that generate that very tarball).

On release tarballs the, you would just have to follow the instructions, and run configure && make; but since configure is generated automatically by autogen.sh (actually, autoconf & friends) it is not part of the maintained sources, thus not part of the repository.

So, the instructions to build from SVN/Git are:

$ ./autogen.sh # replaces ./configure $ # no need to run configure, autogen.sh already does so. However, $ # it would not be a problem to run it $ make $ make install # as root if needed
