updated so you can compile most apps from inside the geany GUI
updated Nov-5-2011 for HUG highlighting and upx compression
this is a "hack" going for geany syntax highlighting with BaCon!

geany fix with rxvt_hold
http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/geany_bacon-2-1_SLXR.tgz

upx compression
http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/upx-3.07-i386_linux-1_SLXR.tgz

note in geany I had to recycle the build button
so after you compile the app you click on build
which build now uses upx to compress your already compiled bin

then open geany with any *.bac and select
Document -->Set Filetype-->Programming Languages-->FreeBasic source file

just install the package
and upx
and you get the BaCon commands highlighted !

I cant use gtksourceview with my gtk version so this is how to get
another GUI going

*since FreeBasic was compiled in the GUI as an option that was used
later when all the commands are added and tested Bacon would be used and compiled into geany the right way

if we keep at we could get an official bacon filetype someday it can be done

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
as a side note

*you can also call the rxvt_hold script for other apps too
like this

big_bass; I had to set the Programming Language to: FreeBasic

Click: Document > Set Filetype > Programming Languages > FreeBasic source file

I was surprised I didn`t have to add ".bac;" to the file: filetype_extensions.conf

Dear Joe,

Although bacongui works on my system, I prefer your method with geany and the modded filetypes.freebasic. I guess I am just used to geany, and the syntax highlighting works perfectly.

Thanks.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hey vovchik

thanks for the comments
I updated the post above to fix it so it now compiles
files that have INCLUDES Very Happy

I also added a little terminal so the user can see the
progress while it compiles in geany

there is a script called rxvt_hold
that goes in /usr/sbin the ( app depends on it)

*you can also call that script for other apps too
as a side note like this

big_bass; Now you need to add HUG highlighting and it`ll be complete!

I still think API libraries should be made of all this stuff, there`s lots of it !
I wrote shell libraries for dealing with files, file systems, lists, gtkDialog, etc.

But written in Bacon and compiled they can become far more useful.
Especially to Bacon as it`s so limited by the standard Basic language.

Problem with an associative array: SEGMENTATION FAULT array out of bounds?

Array gives out correct data, clicking a button and calling a sub gets error.
But the button`s ID array is a std. array, not the associative array.
Sub called has widget_ passed to it: SUB btnCLK(int widget_)

Put the files in: "/tmp/apps.sq"
Compile: "sqApps.mnu.bac" and run in rxvt.
Click Menu button and menu Item and it errors calling sub.

It never even makes it to the SYSTEM command, line #65.

Print command shows the associative array is properly filled.

If it finally runs properly, it`ll error because there`s no Squash App. file.

L.O.L. _ _ _ Late night coding, a real quality producer...
The compiler could be better sometimes, but it can`t out-guess dumb!

I`ll look at your spacing to see it`s visual appeal, any other ideas?

Maybe Puppy has a new pop-menu, with sub menus when I get it added.

Thanks Rod ( the GatorDog )

EXEC keeps giving me grief no matter how I try to use it.
What`s wrong with this? ......... Get options from args.

Your code works of course... But the Bacon docs are wrong... > Sad

Also the command "FILETYPE" doesn`t correctly report a sym. link as "6".
It says it`s a "1", a Regular file. I thought it was reporting the file the link points to.
But I made a link pointing to a link and it still reports it as "1", a Regular file.
Seems "FILETYPE" can`t be relied on for sym. links at least.

Hey big_bass; The Geany syntax highlighting is great!

Problem with Geany... The filetypes.freebasic selection in Document doesn`t stay that way.

Not a problem with your mod. I know, but I`m sure there`s a simple fix.
Thanks for the help... Terry
