[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Workbench: project-related and global build commands (#733)

[elextr]

@LarsGit223 I somehow missed your 15 Jun post.

> why should the workbench plugin use the "build-system" of geany.

Only to have the commands in the build command menu, if you have your own menu thats entirely fine.

>  Is there a way to let geany "simply" execute some command without going the way over an extra build source like GEANY_BCS_PLUGIN? (or is that just the reason why)

Obviously spawning is [available](https://www.geany.org/manual/reference/spawn_8h.html) to plugins.

But remember Geany also parses the returns of build commands for error messages and writes it to the compiler window so you can click and go to the line.  You would have to duplicate that (or expose something thats actually really messy and spread from breakfast to dinner inside Geany, well from build.c to msgwin.c to filetypes.c anyway, not good for an API).
