Thanks, nice to hear that it almost works ;-).

I experienced the same problem under Windows. And after reading the
NetBSD manpage of strtod(), I guess that this is the problem. In Geany
I use strtod() to read hex colour values from the filetype defintion
files for syntax highlighting. strtod() is an ANSI-C function, but the
functionality for reading hex colours seems to be added in ANSI-C99 and
the NetBSD manpage of strtod() refer to ANSI-C89.
I have written my own implementation of strtod, wo only read hex
colour values, and using this on NetBSD could solve the problem.
To test, I've uploaded a tarball, where my implementation of strtod()
is used, to http://www.uvena.de/tmp/geany-0.6netbsd.tar.bz2.

It would be nice, if you could test it and if it works, I will change
the Geany code.


regards,
Enrico
