Thanks a lot, Pierre.

I changed the usage a little bit to avoid memory leaks.
g_win32_error_message() returns a newly-allocated buffer which needs to
be freed. But not a big deal at all.

Hehe, no need to hurry. It's done when it's done.

Attached is a patch which changes the used function for spawning
commands in build.c for View DVI/PDF file and for the general Run
command (e.g. execute a compiled C file or run a python script).
But it shows that there must be a little bug whether in your code or in
the code in build.c. I get these messages on the console:
CreateChildProcess: CreateProcess failed
win32_spawn: Create process failed
utils_spawn_async() failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht
finden.

(the German message at the end means: the system could not find the
specified file)

The created "cmdline" string looked good:
C:\WINNT\System32\cmd.exe /Q /C G:\geany_run_script.bat

(geany_run_script.bat actually existed and the above command line was
executed as expected in a usually opened cmd.exe)

I didn't look depper into this problem. Maybe you'll find the problem.

Regards,
Enrico
