Just download the source and compile :P

Geany 0.21 has a nice feature to remember the settings from the sub-windows like "search and replace" but it becomes a larger binary every new version . I have compiled it on racy/or saluki but without socket support so have not posted it here .

What is GeanyVc Plugin :?:

Geanyvc is the version control plugin for geany.

I haven't compiled much. So a bit wary about screwing up my system.

Is it simple and straightforward to compile geany in Saluki?

Should i have devx installed?

Are there any other dependencies to mind?

I found both Geany 0.21 and geany-plugins from http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.p ... dfca6f179a.

Can I use them in Saluki?

[Edit]: Installed the above pets, but they require glibc 2.11. Saluki has only 2.10


Sorry for so many questions :D

Because of the glibc version hassle i run Puppy 4 . I compile mostly myself now . Needs some time to get all the -dev packages for the headers or compile them too .

You need devx.sfs loaded/installed to compile.

Geany is usually a "nice source" that compiles without hassles .

Many apps that are offered as binary downloads from the official source homepages, not from distro homepages, are apparently compiled against "really old" glibc and gcc : Firefox-10, Opera-11, java-1.7.05 pre-compiled still run on my Puppy 4s installation . Multimedia might be different, at least for vlc .

I would try them out by extracting them in an optional folder which should create something like /opt/PKG_NAME/usr/bin/pkg_binary . Just open a terminal and see if

Code: Select all

/opt/PKG_NAME/usr/bin/pkg_binary
runs .

For a beginner i am not really sure why you think you would need geanyvc then .

my plugins are

Code: Select all

ls /usr/lib/geany |grep '\.so$'
classbuilder.so
export.so
filebrowser.so
htmlchars.so
saveactions.so
splitwindow.so

Plus vte via sakura terminal : sakura-2.4.2 + vte-0.28.2

I concur with that. I have compiled 0.21 for Lucid--it is in 5.2.8.005--but I did not compile any plugins (it seems to be using either the original plugins or default plugins). I will check if I did anything special, but as I recall it was straightforward. No, nothing special, which would make it

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr
I am not the most meticulous compiler though ;-) so I am not saying that is the best set of configure options/.

The plugins in Lucid are classbuilder, export, filebrowser, htmlchars, savereactions, and splitwindow.
