Hi,
It would be useful to ship the Grep binary[1] (and dependencies) with
Geany for Windows. It could be added to the installer for not too much
extra size[2] and would enable the Find in Files feature to work on
Windows by default. Normally I wouldn't like to add more stuff to the
installer but I think without it Geany is missing a very useful feature
on Windows by default.
Does it sound reasonable or no?
Cheers,

[1] Probably this one? http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm
[2] Based on above link maybe around 1-2 MB if its dependencies aren't
already shipped with Geany (ex. libiconv, pcre, etc.).
Just following up on myself. It seems Geany+GTK doesn't ship with iconv
or PCRE, so maybe GLIB uses Windows equivalent of iconv and PCRE is
compiled in statically? Just a guess.
Not sure about PCRE, but iconv should be included. I remember there was
some special build of iconv available from the GTK website where the
Windows builds are available. When I'm messing around with Geany on
Windows the next time, I'll have a look.
I compiled grep myself inside MSYS with this[1]:
$ CFLAGS=-Os LDFLAGS=-static ./configure --enable-threads=windows
--disable-nls --disable-perl-regexp --disable-rpath
Somehow without --disable-perl-regexp it's only 1.15 MB and seems to
still have no dependencies that'd need to be shipped with it.
And compressed in the installer is probably only 500 KB or so.
Matthew, send me the binary and it'll go in.
Regards,
Enrico
