[Geany-devel] COBOL syntax highlighting and filetype support

[Seth Keiper]

Hello list,

I am attempting to add filetype and highlighting support for COBOL but
I am running into an error:

../scintilla/libscintilla.a(KeyWords.o): In function `Scintilla_LinkLexers()':
../scintilla/KeyWords.cxx:177: undefined reference to `lmCOBOL'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Copying most of the SQL lexer, because it is the closest in type to
COBOL, I did a grep for "lmSQL" and got:
scintilla/LexSQL.cxx:LexerModule lmSQL(SCLEX_SQL, ColouriseSQLDoc,
"sql", FoldSQLDoc, sqlWordListDesc);
scintilla/KeyWords.cxx: LINK_LEXER(lmSQL);

Also, my grep of lmCOBOL:
scintilla/LexCOBOL.cxx:LexerModule lmCOBOL(SCLEX_COBOL,
ColouriseCOBOLDoc, "cobol", FoldCOBOLDoc, cobolWordListDesc);
scintilla/KeyWords.cxx: LINK_LEXER(lmCOBOL);

Provided in the attachment is the svn diff. Can someone maybe point me
in the right direction with this code, please? I would like to see
this in before 0.19 is released.

Thank you for your time,
Seth Keiper
