[Geany] Geany on OS X, extension "RANDR" and symlink error?

[Juergen Potzkoten]

Success!

first of all I'd like to thank you Nick & Jason for the hints!
Building Geany natively under OSX with GTK+  (without X11) sounded fine to
me..so I started again from scratch and deleted my previous attempts &
macports.

Here's what I did:

- installed GTK+ from http://www.gtk-osx.org/
- downloaded the latest Geany SVN Version again
- ran ./autogen.sh in Terminal again and got the following error:

....
    checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
    checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >=
2.8.0) were not met:

    No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
...

- fired up Finder to search for gtk, found it under <myuser>/gtk
- added the path in Terminal by typing:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<myuser>/gtk/inst/lib/pkgconfig/
- checked it with: pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
  Output: 2.16.2

-so there we are!
-then I ran configure, make and sudo make install again

-->Success! Geany executable is under /usr/local/bin/geany and runs fine
now!

Maybe this little "Howto" can push the other OS X users (are there any? ;) )
into the right direction...

Thanks again and have a nice day!
Oliver
