Hi Mathew,

I have put #error "I should fail" in include/ScintillaWidget.h inside of the #if defined(GTK) :

#ifndef SCINTILLAWIDGET_H
#define SCINTILLAWIDGET_H

#if defined(GTK)
#error "I should fail"

#ifdef cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif __

Same error and no error message ""I should fail".

Thanks

i try to build geany with MinGW on Windows 7 64bit tonight, i encounter the same problem, i fix this by moving scintilla makefile from geany/scintilla to geany/scintilla/gtk(BTW this is where the official scintilla put the makefile), and edit the content to meet the path change.

I am not clear if this is a bug of the makefile or MinGW gcc, i'll try to build geany under linux mint with another machine when i get time. Meanwhile someone please temporarily fix this.

@winterland, which "makefile" are you using? There may be confusion between several build systems and/or using wrong letter casing/extensions in filename; the main one is for Automake/Autotools which has name Makefile.am (which generates a Makefile in the build directory), another is makefile.win32 which is some simple GNU Make file that some people use to build Geany on Windows (but not the official releases, those use Waf build system), and finally there's a makefile that upstream Scintilla uses, that is not part of or distributed with Geany that is used to build the upstream Scintilla GTK+ tree.

Which "makefile" do you mean?

Hi, I still have this problem. In previous version I solved entering in the scintilla/gtk
directory and running directly the compiler command after some change in the include path:

g++ -DNDEBUG -Os -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-char-subscripts -DGTK -DSCI_LEXER -I ../include -I ../src -I ../lexlib -I . -IC:/libs/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/libs/lib/gtk-2.0/include -IC:/libs/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/libs/include/cairo -IC:/libs/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -IC:/libs/include/pango-1.0 -IC:/libs/include/glib-2.0 -IC:/libs/lib/glib-2.0/include -IC:/libs/include -IC:/libs/include/gettext -mms-bitfields -DG_THREADS_IMPL_NONE -c PlatGTK.cxx

but now make -f makefile.win32 is trying to compile again the PlatGTK.cxx, although the .o was properly created with the above command...

EDIT: I changed the makefile in scintilla:

...

SRCOBJS=\
    gtk/PlatGTK.o \
    gtk/ScintillaGTK.o \
    Accessor.o \
    CharacterCategory.o \
    src/CaseConvert.o \
    CaseFolder.o \
    CharacterSet.o \
    LexerBase.o \
    LexerModule.o \
    LexerNoExceptions.o \
    LexerSimple.o \
    PropSetSimple.o \
    StyleContext.o \
    WordList.o \
    src/AutoComplete.o \
    src/CallTip.o \
...

and compiled with the command above all the file in scintilla/src but I have now problem with ld "ld.exe: cannot find -liberty"

EDIT 2: I reinstalled libliberty from the link in
http://www.geany.org/Support/CrossCompile
and now it is ok
