Could you give me a brief use case how the build feature works (several general steps) and point the file 
where I can find code responsible for it. May be I will try to take a look at the 
problem closer (cannot guarantee since I have not used C/C++ for ages :)). As far as I can see practically everything works:
it executes appropriate tool for compilation, gets output from the tool,  parses output and makes parsed results visible in compile
window. But after that geany CPU load is 100%. 

I have tried geany night build and geany 0.17. They have the same problem.


PS: Buy the way, several days ago VirtualBox 3.2 has been released. One of the very interested 
feature is support for Mac OSx. That means it is possible to install original Mac OSx from
original oficial DVD. It could be a good way to test geany for this platform.
