<p>Neat, but, if anyone can build it, can they run it to see if it works?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As long as you don't expect a GUI :).<br>
Seriously, my build script executes the generated installer via Wine, installs Geany, then execute <code>wine geany --version</code> to check it is properly installed and can be executed and then uninstall Geany again and check there is nothing left.<br>
This is at least some rudimentary testing to get sure all necessary DLLs are included.<br>
I didn't try but it should be possible to fully run Geany via Wine.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With Geany-plugins, I wonder it it would be better to just include it in the one install, I would expect (but have no evidence) that most people will install them if they realise they exist.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Tempting idea. It certainly would be a benefit for users.</p>
<p>On the contrary the installer size would be even bigger (not sure how much this is an issue nowadays).<br>
But it would increase the burden to make releases of Geany and Geany-Plugins independently of each other. Also it would make the build script and NSIS installer quite big and complex.<br>
So, I would keep Geany and G-P builds separated.</p>
