Hi Matthew

Thanks, yes, I've got xterm, I can open a terminal window and type xterm in it, XQuartz starts up and a new xterm window appears OK.  I'm not an OS X/Linux expert but bash and sh seem to work too.

If I have "Execute in the VTE" ticked, the terminal pane in Geany gives the Warning: GnuTLS not enabled... message, nothing more (even with "Don't use run script").

Without that, I get the "Cannot execute build commend" message.

My feeling is that Geany does not have permission to write a file like /var/folders/_x/j4bl...very long string.../T/geany_run_script_5H9910.sh

I've got Geany on my Windows machine and it just works - somehow the Mac is different.

Kind regards
Roger

Hi everyone

I've just installed Geany 1.36 on my Mac (with OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra, XCode 10.1+command line tools, Python 3.8.2).

I cannot get print('hello world') to run.  When I click the two gears icon the status window shows a message:

    "Cannot execute build command "xterm -e "/bin/sh
    /var/folders/_x/j4bl...very long
    string.../T/geany_run_script_5H9910.sh"  No such file or directory.
    Check the terminal setting in Preferences".

The directory exists but there is no geany_run_script in it.

Also (don't know if this is related) the terminal window has a message: "WARNING: GnuTLS not enabled: data will be written to disk unencrypted".

Any tips?  Does it usually just work?


You probably don't have Xterm on Macos, do you?

You could change the terminal under `Edit->Preferences->Tools->Terminal` or you can use the builtin terminal by ticking `Edit->Preferences->Terminal->Execute program in the VTE` as well as `Don't use run script`.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Matthew Brush
