Hi,

thanks for the patch.

I'll sent a patch to the Scintilla mailing list.

On Windows, Geany is installed (and configured) to use relative paths.
These macros are defined in src/makefile.win32, we should define them
in src/Makefile.am for cross-compiling, too.

Yes, I used this because I didn't expect anyone else than me would use
this and hardcoding the paths was just easier :D.

I'm not yet sure why this happens but fnmatch is available via liberty,
IIRC. At least when I wrote the cross-compiling stuff, it worked.
Right now, I have some other problems which prevent me from further
testing, e.g. configure doesn't detect the host correctly. And I don't
have the time to test further now.
I applied your patch partyl, thanks and I will continue testing on
Friday or Saturday.

Hehe, Geany for Windows in Wine on Linux ;-). I've no idea what went
wrong there but I wouldn't spend too much time in solving problems in
this environment...

Fixed, thanks.
