#980 Compilation failure

[Tom Madron]

I have used Geany for several years, mostly for programming with FBC. I updated from version 0.21 to version 1.23.1. Geany no longer compiled FBC code on Windows 7. This is a problem so a returned to version 21 and all seems well. I also have Linux machines but am hesitant to try upgrading on those machines.

Yes, I use command.exe as the default command shell. Please note:

The microsoft shells are cmd.exe or command.com, my quick research suggests
command.exe is a trojan.

The following is the compile statement in the set build command screen:

fbc -w all "%f"
This is identical to what is in version 0.21. There are no other set build
command compile statements.

There are no add-on elements.

Actually I use the default command shell which is cmd.exe, sometimes in an administrative mode.

Actually I use the default command shell, cmd.exe. I have never tried using command.exe (typo above) or a .com extension since Windows became available as an operating environment more-or-less independent of the old DOS. I currently have five Windows (4 Windows 7, 1 Windows XP) machines and two Linux machines. There is either some sort of bug in Geany 1.23.1 or the compilation procedure has been changed sufficiently to preclude compilers previously supported. You can see the issue in the listing of the debugging messages above between 0.21.0 and 1.23.1l

As I said above the way in which compile commands are invoked on Windows
was changed in 1.23 to fix some problems with large output from the
compiler. Clearly that change has some side effects.

Let me assure you that the Linux version has not changed and you are safe
to upgrade that.

It was suggested that there may be a problem with how the command should be
quoted, could you try removing the " around the %f in the compile command.

I also have Linux machines but am hesitant to try upgrading on those machines.

As said above, it's most likely an issue in some Windows-specific code, so it probably doesn't affect Linux.
