Hi,
is anybody on this list running Geany on OS X? I'm desperately trying to get it to run and I think I'm quite close.. but somehow it seems that I'm missing something..here's what I did so far: - Dowloaded latest version via SVN, - compile, make and install went smoothly, I have the Geany executable in /usr/local/bin
-starting Geany in xterm (and also in an OS X Terminal) produces the following error:
----- ./geany -v Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-NHDS34/:0". symlink: No such file or directory ** INFO: Geany 0.19 (svn >= r4253), GTK+ 2.16.6, GLib 2.20.5 ** INFO: No config file found, try to use global configuration. ** INFO: Could not load libvte.so, embedded terminal support disable
------ ..Unfortunately this is all information I get so far...
So here are my questions:
- Is the Xlib: ... error the critical error? If yes, how can I fix it?
...Google tells me that this error is not critical, but I get no Geany Program Window at all, so I can't really believe that this behaviour should be ignored...so far I found no solution for the RANDR error, I updated X11 core files, but the error keeps poping up...*sigh*
- which symlink is missing?
Any hint would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Oliver B.

First, I don't really know anything about OSX, so any input from someone with it would be helpful.
RANDR seems to me to be referring to libXrandr.so[.VERSION] (or similar), which is a shared library that my Fedora Linux GTK library is linked to. So I guess that the GTK library you downloaded(?) depends on an X library file that isn't on your system.
To confirm this, if you have ldd, you can run: ldd /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
Where that path is the path to the GTK shared library. Paste the output here. On my system I get: ... libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x00a11000) ...
If I'm right, you would either need to download the Xrandr module or download/build a GTK library that doesn't depend on it (not sure if the latter is possible for X backend).
It could be that your X library is too old, and that's why the module is missing.

When I built Geany on OS X last year, I was using the then-beta version of http://www.gtk-osx.org/ which provides native GTK+. (No need for X11, etc.) So then again, I don't have any experience building Geany for OSX/X11.
This might be something to consider trying.
