[Geany-Devel] Building geany using msys2 on Windows 10

[Attila]

Hi,

I do not know the Windows compiler environment, but on Linux I switched
back the Gtk3 to Gtk2 successfully. Just change the 'configure.ac' at
line 79 to `[enable_gtk2=yes])`. And of course install the Gtk2-dev
packages.

You can see it (and my CI solution) here:

Attila
