Cheers, Matthew Brush [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.

It looks reasonable and even desirable to me, but I must admit I don't really care since I almost never use Windows anyway… BTW, you say it adds 1-2MB, but what's the overall size of the installer? If it is 2MB on a 4MB installer it looks huge, but if the installer was already 40MB large I doubt anybody would notice.

If it is 2MB on a 4MB installer it looks huge, but if the installer was already 40MB large I doubt anybody would notice. For 1.22, the geany-only installer is 2MB and the geany+gtk one is 8MB. Perhaps only put it into the gtk one. ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel

I compiled grep myself inside MSYS with this[1]: $ CFLAGS=-Os LDFLAGS=-static ./configure --enable-threads=windows --disable-nls --disable-perl-regexp --disable-rpath It creates a grep.exe that is 1.53 MB and it doesn't seem to have any DLL dependencies except for normal stuff. Using objdump and grep (since I don't have ldd on Windows), these are the DLLs it lists: DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll DLL Name: msvcrt.dll Cheers, Matthew Brush [1] Not sure if these are good options, but it's what I used. ___ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
