Not sure what you mean by "pointing to here", do you mean 1) currently
editing a file here, 2) Geany was started with here as pwd, 3) the wd of
the make command is explicitly pointed here, or something else?

In each case

1) your command could be a script that is passed %d as an argument and then
extracts the tail and prefixes it with /build1.  That is a single script
and it doesn't even need to be in the application dir and can be filetype
independent and an absolute path.

2) a filetype independent build command runs a script (from the local dir)
that knows to run the matching make in /build1/... This needs a script in
each application dir.

3) if its explicit, you might as well make it explicit to build1/... dir

You should probably also be looking at projects which can also set build
commands and be more specific.

Personally I would use 2) having a hard wired script in each application
dir, its simple, its explicit so the next maintainer can understand it, and
it doesn't depend on Geany specifically so you can also run the script from
the command line as well.  Sure it will take half an hour to set up twenty
scripts, but then its done :)

I believe what you want is a Makefile like this:

all clean:
$(MAKE) -C /path/to/other/directory/ $@

You can of course add all the targets you want to be able to build in
the list with "all" and "clean" (e.g. "all clean distclean doc:" or
whatever);  and of course, /path/to/other/directory can either be
absolute or relative.

However, seeing the examples in your other mail, you could also use a
script that runs make in $(PWD)/../../../build1/, like that:

#!/bin/sh

# find subdir of build1 to enter
pwd="$PWD"
cd ../..
sub="./${pwd:${#PWD}}"
# and enter, and run make in it
cd "../build1/$sub"
exec make $@

It has the advantage of not requiring to drop one makefile per source
directory, you just use this script everywhere.  A more committed writer
could also probably write a script that finds the recursion depth itself
by e.g. going up until current directory is APPS, so the script could be
run from any subdirectory of APPS, not only in APPS/*/*/

Hope it helps.

Colomban

Yes thanks for that - I already know how to set up commands.

Unless I am missing the point these sections do not address the problem I 
having.

I have sent a follow up that should explain the problem in more detail.

Geany just runs the commands you tell it to, so if you know the commands to use

One of the filetype independent commands asks for a parameter to be added to 
the command.

Re: [Geany-Users] Makefile redirction for Make Command

[Tim Black]

Hi thanks for getting back to me.

Maybe I should have been a little more specific in my requirements:

My folder structure looks like:

/APPS
/application1
/src
/application2
/src<- geany pointing to file here !  See note below
/application3
/src

... 20 or so applications ...

/buid1
/application1
/src
/application2
/src<- I want geany to execute the Makefile here
/application3
/src

... 20 or so applications ...

If I put a makefile (e.g. Makefile.geany) in /APPS/application2/src that points 
to the makefile in /build1/application2/src then regardless of which directory 
the file I am editing is the Make command will pick up the Makefile.geany and 
build application2.  Obviously each Makefile.geany file would need to be 
customised to execute the correct target.

My question is:

What would I put in the Makefile.geany to run make in 
../../build1/application/src or would a shell script (geany.make) be more 
sensible that simply executed e.g. pushd ../../build1/application/src; make; 
popd;  Every directory would have the geany.make script so I can simply have to 
put geany.make in the command settings.

Your comments on the best course of action would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Tim

Out-of-tree compilation with autotools is usually fairly straightforward -- 
just cd into your build tree, and call configure from there, e.g.

To build:
$ mkdir -p build-tree
$ cd build-tree
$ ../configure
$ make

And to clean:
$ cd .. && rm -rf build-tree

With an autotools project, the autoconf/automake files (configure.ac, 
Makefile.am, Makefile.in) are in the source tree, whereas your Makefile, and a 
couple of other auxiliary files, are in your build tree.

TL;DR:
Simply put, don't use VPATH directly. In your Makefile.am, use $(srcdir) to 
refer to the directory, and $(builddir) to refer to the build directory.
$(top_srcdir) and $(top_builddir) refer to the root of your source tree and 
build tree respectively.

In an in-tree build, $(srcdir) == $(builddir) and
$(top_srcdir) == $(top_builddir).

In an out-of-tree build, $(srcdir) != $(builddir) and
$(top_srcdir) != $(top_builddir). Your binaries go into $(builddir), while your 
sources remain in $(srcdir).

During `make distcheck`, one of the tests done is to make the entire $(srcdir) 
read-only, and to do the entire build in a separate directory using this 
feature. So, any files generated by your build (from ./configure onwards) 
should not modify anything in your source tree.


Explanation on VPATH:
VPATH is a Make feature that affects the lookup of the dependencies, but not 
the target. When using VPATH, your target is relative to your current 
directory, whereas your dependencies are looked up in ., and failing which, in 
VPATH.
However, make does not know how to mangle your rules, so...

This is correct:
| foobar.o: foobar.c
|   $(CC) -c $< -o $@

If VPATH=../src, then this automatically expands to:
$ cc -c ../src/foobar.c -o foobar

This is wrong:
| foobar.o: foobar.c
|   $(CC) -c foobar.c -o foobar

Because this expands (regardless of VPATH) to:
$ cc -c foobar.c -o foobar

oops, misread the extension.

There is no highlighting of restructured text available.  A lexer needs to

[Geany-Users] syntax highlighting of .rst files

[Roel De Coninck]

Hi all

I'm editing an .rst file.  When I open the file in vim, there is a syntax
highlighting and I like to have something similar in Geany.   Currently, in
geany there is no single highlighting to be seen on the screen.

My system is Ubuntu 13.10, 64 bit.  Geany version is 1.23.1.  I have
installed the geany-plugins.
Thanks,
