And stopping a command(using the stopm menu item/toolbar button) should
also work now.
There was an additional problem when any of the tools(make.exe,
gcc.exe, g++.exe, ...) was specified with the full path. By parsing the
backslashes were removed before the command was executed and so it
failed (Geany tried to execute e.g. c:mingwbinmake.exe). I addded some
code to fix this by quoting the first element of the command line and
it seems to work. If anyone experiences problems, please report them.

As Nick, I'm not sure but I guess it might be related to the used make
binary. We experienced similar problems with svn and grep.


There is still another problem:
Sometimes, the build commands(Compile, Build, Execute) won't work
giving a message that the child process couldn't be found. I still
don't know when exactly it happens and why. I will try to fix it. At
the moment, the only thing which helps is to restart Geany once it
happened. Maybe there is somewhere still a change of the working
directory which could cause this. Still no idea.

Regards,
Enrico
