I have tried and tried to install a nightly bill or using ppa. [ppa
just keeps giving me 1.23.1; so does augmenting /etc/apt/sources.list
with recommended deb commands]. When I get clone or download the git
.zip file the install instructions say to run ./configure. But there is
no configure file in what I download the files.
At one point I gut autoconf to create a configure file (maybe from
configure.ac??) but when running it I get
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found [and there is no ubuntu package by that name
anyway]
I have tried getting nightly builds of .deb files but have been unable
to find them on the recommended sites and wonder anyway about
compatibility with my xubuntu 13.10.

Frank, add the following to any file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/__geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu
<http://ppa.launchpad.net/geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu> raring main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/__geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu
<http://ppa.launchpad.net/geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu> raring main
I don’t think there are any problem dependencies that would
prevent the
raring package from installing on saucy. Usually (though
certainly not
always) installing a package built for an older distribution
than you’re
running is trouble-free. At least it has been for me in
seven years using
Debian-based operating systems, where third-party packages
tend to be built
for either the current stable release (Debian) or the
current LTS release
(Ubuntu).
To avoid testing binary-incompatibilities, a neater option in my
opinion is to 'copy packages' from
https://launchpad.net/~geany-__dev/+archive/ppa/+packages
<https://launchpad.net/~geany-dev/+archive/ppa/+packages> to one
of your
personal PPAs on Launchpad (it's really just a click of a button!).
For fun I copied geany - 1.23+dfsg-1~hyper1+raring to
https://launchpad.net/~__landronimirc/+archive/__collection/+packages
<https://launchpad.net/~landronimirc/+archive/collection/+packages>
,
and while doing so asked to 'rebuild' for 'Saucy'.
But all this is a moot point. Ubuntu Saucy already ships
geany-1.23.1.
Frank, can you install that?
My xubuntu system already installed that, but it apparently does not
have the recent R indentation improvements.
Thats about 6 months old, but is the current release.
Changes made since then will only be available in Git or nightly builds
(http://nightly.geany.org/) until the next release which on past
practice will be between 0 and 6 months, with a leaning towards sooner
rather than later if a nasty bug in the Windows build gets fixed.
Cheers
