Interesting, running that from command line like so:

gcc -E -dD -p -undef c:\mingw\include\*

works fine.  Running the geany command from within MSYS I get:

$ geany.exe -g test.c.tags /mingw/include/*
'G_END_DECLS)\s*$'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Failed to create tags file, perhaps because no tags were found.

What tools are used to parse the pre-processor output?

Cheers,

Chris
