I bundle most of the plugins (that don't have any too-hard-to-build dependencies like webkit) as part of the Geany bundle and they work. I just need the plugins from geany-plugins to have the same extension as those that are built with Geany. But the above link looks promising. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3606#issuecomment-1765889061 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Ditto I was thinking of people who download plugins from the internet, most will be for linux, will they work? I guess so far there has been no complaint, so maybe mac people don't download stuff from the internet? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3606#issuecomment-1765422256 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

> Probably should use .dylib on mac But Geany won't load them. And geany-plugins are still using autotools and generate ".so". So I think it would be easier if meson could generate ".so" instead of ".dylib" so we'd have the same extension coming both from geany and geany-plugins. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3606#issuecomment-1765414788 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Probably should use `.dylib` on mac, that will prevent plugins built for linux being visible. If anyone (except you) is using autotools on mac they can submit a patch to add a rename step for the `.so`s. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3606#issuecomment-1765402004 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
