I installed geany and geany-plugins from git on a fresh xubuntu 16.04 system, and found this same issue
When I try to debug, it instead hangs with geany using 100% cpu. It seems to get past the stage of actually loading gdb, and i have found that geany rarely responds to mouse clicks, and when I kill gdb, it goes back to functioning normally. I have tried with geany 1.27 and had the same issue here are the steps I have used to go from a fresh linux install to my current state: sudo apt-get install git libvte-dev libtool sudo apt-get install ctags gdb meld nemiver libwebkit-dev vim git clone https://github.com/geany/geany cd geany ./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs make sudo make install cd .. git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins cd geany-plugins ./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs make sudo make install I then enable scope debugger, at which point the issue becomes apparent --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
