# Problems with compiling Geany 1.37.1 on Slackware 14.2:
First Problem:
$ /bin/sh .../geany-1.37.1/build-aux/install-sh -d
.../package-geany/usr/share/geany
/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./COPYING
/home/ric/TMP/package-geany/usr/share/geany/GPL-2
/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ric/TMP/package-geany/usr/share/applications'
/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 geany.desktop
'/home/ric/TMP/package-geany/usr/share/applications'
/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ric/TMP/package-geany/usr/lib/pkgconfig'
/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 geany.pc
'/home/ric/TMP/package-geany/usr/lib/pkgconfig'
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ric/TMP/geany-1.37.1'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ric/TMP/geany-1.37.1'
cp: cannot stat 'COMMITTERS': No such file or directory
The package geany-1.37.1.tar.gz is missing the "COMMITTERS" file, as such
compilation fails. Copying the "COMMITTERS" file from the 1.34.1 package to the
1.37.1 package, then recompiling works on a 32 bit laptop.
Second Problem:
On a 64 bit desktop, compiling the 1.37.1 packages results in the following
error message:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/5.5.0/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld:
i386 architecture of input file `../scintilla/.libs/libscintilla.a(DBCS.o)' is
incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:708: recipe for target 'libgeany.la' failed
make[3]: *** [libgeany.la] Error 1
The issue is in ../scintilla/.libs/libscintilla.a(DBCS.o):
$ file DBCS.o
DBCS.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
Running a "make clean" before compiling is desirable.
After correcting successful compiling:
$ diff -q geany-1.37.1.working/ geany-1.37.1/ > geany.diff
Only in geany-1.37.1.working/: COMMITTERS
PROBLEMS WITH COMPILING Geany-plugins 1.37:
First Problem:
There are "missing files in the '.gz file (or the makefile needs tweaking).
diff -q geany-plugins-1.37.working/ geany-plugins-1.37/ > geany-plugins.diff
Only in geany-plugins-1.37.working/: HACKING
Only in geany-plugins-1.37.working/: MAINTAINERS
Only in geany-plugins-1.37.working/: autogen.sh
Copying the missing files from the 1.34.1 package to the 1.37.1 package, then
recompiling works.
Second Problem:
In installing geany/geany-plugins I was also experimenting with updating
gpg & gpg2 (from Slackware-current (aka Slackware 15-rc1). I need to update
libassuan from version 2.4.2 to version 2.5.5. There is an issue with
geany-plugins and libassuan 2.5.5. One of the libraries which geany-plugins
depends on is no longer present in libassuan 2.5.5.
After reverting back to the default gpg/gpg2/libassuan (libassuan 2.4.2)
the problem disappeared. Eventually geany-plugins may need a tweak for later
version of libassuan.
Help: does anyone know how to shut off the github markdown stuff and use just
plain old text? Thanks. S.
