[Geany-Devel] Geany 1.23 Waf install under win32

[Steven VALSESIA]

Hi !

I wanted to try this test-build
http://uvena.de/tmp/geany-1.24_setup_test.exe, but I cannot ran it.
I had to had these dependency :


*libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dlllibstdc++-6.dlllibwinpthread-1.dll*

But even if I had them, I cannot run it because my version of
libstdc++-6.dll (and number of other I tested) don't have the call for
__gxx_personality_sj0.

What's the problem ? (I'm running Windows 7 pro 64bits).

Cheers,
Steven Valsesia
