I tried compiling glade 3.8.6 with no success within 1 hour. I stopped. Maybe someone already having glade in correct version could help. I don't agree with the last point: I see no reason for not fixing a feature in Geany, in my opinion not usable, because it can be circumvented with a plugin, although there is a easy fix, already prepared. Of course I am biased as I invested hours in understanding, fixing, and preparing a fix. I love Geany, I use it in on every computer I run. I circumvent enterprise firewalls and software policies just to install Geany to use it everyday. For a while I was compiling and preparing ubuntu-packages and providing them in a repository when Geany in the official repositories where behind the current development. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
