Hi all,
I've yet to detect the mechanism that causes the issue but:
- Sometimes, the Make, Build buttons and 'more make actions' dropdown get disabled (grayed out).
- The only way (I found) to regain the buttons seems to be restart Geany.
After checking several reports on this, most of those seem to suggest some missing tool. That's not my case. I can use the buttons for hours, but then suddenly they remain disabled...
Any suggestions?
John
All the build actions spawn a subprocess and wait for it to finish, reading the output and parsing for errors. Only one stream can be read/parsed/displayed at a time, so the build UI is disabled until the current build is finished. If for some reason the build does not finish, Geany will wait forever with the UI disabled.
You provide no information on platform or versions, but maybe the end of the build process goes missing, or the build process hangs, possibly waiting for user input which will never come.

Thanks, Lex. Sorry... 'twas late, and thinking was not clear...
I'm running on Linux Slackware64-current, Geany is 1.39. Assembly is done with gputils' gpasm-1.5.0 #1285 (Dec 15 2020).
Is there any way to get Geany out of this 'waiting state', without having to exit the editor?

1.39 hasn't been released yet? Either a typo or Slackware has made its package from github assuming there are no problems with it (normally true, but not guaranteed).
That said there are no changes to running build subcommands AFAIK.

There have been suggestions to allow builds to be killed (similar to how executions can be killed), but there are build systems that can be left in an erroneous state if killed.
First check if the subcommand is still running, if it is then there's your problem. Kill it and all should come right.
If its not then its hard to know whats wrong, if you can find what makes it happen, especially if you can make it happen with a more common tool than pic assembly, I doubt any Geany contributors use it so wouldn't be able to reproduce it.
