According to the Geany manual:
The system path is the data subfolder of the installation path on Windows.
The user configuration directory might vary, but on Windows XP it's:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\geany
A Euphoria Programmer provided this information while commenting on program
I wrote which
installs versions of several files which enable Geany to support the
Euphoria Programming Language:
Some updated info for Windows installs:
>
> In my version of Windows, the actual path to the directory created by
> geany is
> C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\geany
> *That path doesn't exist until geany is run once. You should tell users
> to run geany once so it can write those default files/dirs.* This way you
> can confirm that whatever path they provide for installing these forms is
> correct.
>
> The path to geany config files needs to be gotten from getenv("APPDATA"),
> instead of getenv("HOME").
> APPDATA can be used from Windows XP on up. On my Windows XP box, it returns
> C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data
> On Windows 7 it returns
> C:\The system path is the data subfolder of the installation path on
> Windows.
> The user configuration directory might vary, but on Windows XP it's:
> C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
> Data\geanyUsers\Owner\AppData\Roaming\geany
> The Windows file path code need only be this:
> constant GEANY_DIR = getenv( "APPDATA" ) & SLASH & "geany"
This is my latest installation program, written in Euphoria. The code is
simple and intuitive, so
I think most programmers will be able to follow it without any problems:
------ EuGeany 1.3b-- -- usage eui EuGeany.ex---- Installs Geany
configuration files which-- provide support for the Euphoria
Programming Language-- Existing files are backed up with an extension
suffix-- which may be defined by the user--
-- For more information read comments in the respective files,
-- especially, filetypes.Euphoria.conf.----
include std/console.einclude std/filesys.einclude std/graphics.e
constant BACKUP_SUFFIX = "~"-- constant BACKUP_SUFFIX = ".BAK"
sequence GEANY_USER_CONFIG = getenv( "HOME") & SLASH & ".config" &
SLASH & "geany"
ifdef WINDOWS then GEANY_USER_CONFIG = getenv( "APPDATA" ) & SLASH &
"geany"end ifdef
-- create tags directory, if it does not already exist:if
