Thomas, could you do me a favor and check against which libraries your geany.dll is linked? Basically performing a 'ldd' on Windows. Attached is a short command session to dump object information from the DLL and then grep for "DLL Name" which lists linked libraries. This is somewhat similar to 'ldd' on Linux. You probably need to adjust the paths to the 'objdump' tool and the geany.dll (objdump.exe should be part of the Mingw installation and reside next to gcc.exe). Background: Frank made me aware that on a clean Windows system, the provided installer won't start because it requires libwinpthread-1.dll which is not distributed by the installer but is part of the Mingw environment. I never noticed this because on my Windows system, the Mingw installation is in $PATH and so this library is always available. I'm curious whether this happens also with your Mingw setup. I guess it will as it seems this is a change in newer gcc versions on Windows. But I want to get sure instead of just guessing :). Right now, I'm playing with static linking options, already tried -static -lpthread but so far without success. If it is just a requirement, we can probably distribute this library as well but if we can avoid it, even better. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc
