The good news: After using SciTE and being quite happy with it, I came across Geany and was quite pleased with the feature set and capabilities. The bad news: My development system at work is running RHEL5, meaning the latest version I can use is 0.20 (IT dictates our development distro) The worse news: Tags (one of the features I really wanted to use Geany for) cannot be generated- any "geany -g" command dies with a segfault. The salt in the sound: In the Bugs section of the 0.21 changelog: "Fix generating tag files (-g) and --ft-names segfault"
Fortunately, I've verified that the below commit can be backported to 0.20 tree and it resolves the issue (built 0.20 branch with this commit cherry-picked; ChangeLog just had to be merged). Also while I was browsing changes I noticed that some fixes were completed after the release of 0.20.0, but there was never any 0.20.1 tag/release. Is it possible to have a 0.20.1 maintenance release for those of us stuck on ancient versions of GTK to get this major feature working again? If not I'll just use my locally-built copy. Thanks! -Kevin --- commit e38f3b560a277e4a22ff50ef5bc348e8fbf3d7c0 Author: Nick Treleaven <[email protected]> Date: Thu Mar 17 18:00:20 2011 +0000 Fix generating tag files and --ft-names option by ensuring GTK is initialized before calling ui_get_mime_icon(). git-svn-id: https://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany/trunk@5604 ea778897-0a13-0410-b9d1-a72fbfd435f5 ---
