[Github-comments] [geany/geany] running 2 commands on same line build compile execute (#1524)

[elextr]

The previous versions of Geany used the `system()` call to run commands on Windows.  That passes the command to the command parser so it will understand the `&&`.  But using `system()` had many other problems, losing the build command output, inconsistent quoting etc.

So now Geany spawns a single executable directly the same as was always done on Linux and OSX, which provides better control and reliability but loses the ability to run more than one command (which never existed on Linux and OSX anyway).

To run more than one command you either need to make the command run a script, or use make.
