Hi,
I've built new Windows installers from current GIT master.
Downloads can be found here:
http://download.geany.org/snapshots/
Please note that these are test builds from the current development
version, don't expect release quality.
You have been warned :).
After you installed the snapshots, you can also use the nightly
builds again on Windows (i.e. copy the archive contents over the
installation).
Any feedback is welcome.
Nice! I'll try to spin GTK3-based installers soon. Though it needs tiny
patches to Geany (PR will follow).
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.
For cross-compiling it's sometimes useful to add `-static-libstdc++` and
`-static-libgcc` compiler/linker options, if not already there. Maybe
they would compile that library into Geany.exe statically along with the
std stuff.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
