Hi Chris,

Unfortunately on Windows not at this time, builds are synchronous, ie
Geany does not run again until the build is finished.

This is because there appear to be problems with the portable
interfaces to spawning processes and asynchronously collecting their
output on Windows.  Someone with the necessary Windows development
skills needs to write some Windows specific code to work
asynchronously and not use the portable interfaces.

Cheers
Lex
