Benefits are blazing fast builds and more user friendly configuration.
This is promised by meson and I would agree in the case of Geany.
Autotools is supported and still the default.
Meson builds might have rough edges but should generally work OK.
Time will tell if it superseeds autotools builds completely.
Autotools-based builds will be supported for some time. This patch makes
some modifications to the Autotools build system necessary to to co-exist
with meson.
- LOCALEDIR and DATADIR won't be defined, replace with GEANY_* where necessary
- VERSION won't be defined, use PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING instead
- Doxyfile cannot be generated by configure, which wouldn't run in a meson
build. Generate both Doxyfile and Doxyfile-gi manually using sed
- actual shell script to generate signallist.i (inline shell not a thing in meson)
- path of signallist.i will change, exclude callbacks.c from doxygen
to make it happy
- geany icon for 24x24 size such that one exists for all sizes
- install license file for Lexilla
- change how tests are run a bit so that runner.sh will also work for meson
- check for dirent.h, required by ctags
* Update Scintilla to version 5.1.1
A few notes:
- C++17 is required
Not exactly new since we already imported the latest julia lexer.
- upstream split out lexers into a lexilla library
We do "comply" by building a separate static library. So in effect, all
lexers are built-in like before. In the future it may be possible to add
lexer plugins at runtime.
- Lexer IDs are deprecated in favor of names
For now we use LexerNameFromID() to map IDs to names but we should
transition to names soon.
That being said, the upstream transition seems also not complete.
There is no name-based version of SCI_GETLEXER, so we're stuck with IDs
there.
Closes#2824
* Update scintilla_changes.patch
The "which lexers" part is now a separate function that should be less
of a pain when updating to scintilla version that adds lexers.
* Update update-scintilla.sh
You need to extract lexilla sources too now and pass it to the script.
Also the script calls dos2unix for the files, kill that CRLF!
And so remove the current year to ease maintenance and since it is not
strictly necessary.
Also remove individual copyright holders (where appropriate) and replace
the name with "The Geany contributors". The detailed authorship
information is still available in the GIT history.
Also remove copyright notice and author names from READMEs.
Scintilla 3.7.6/4.0.0 deprecated `SCE_*STYLEBITS*` and moved it to
deprecated features that require a build-time flag to be available.
Thus, drop use of those (as they are now no-ops anyway) and bump the
ABI (so plugins depending on those don't build mistakenly load) and API
(so a developer can guard use of those if wanted) version accordingly.
This behavior might be unwanted when changing project settings which
is unrelated to project base path and also fixes filebrowser behavior
with the updated way project-save signal is emitted.
The patch also handles the situation where "realized" is called after
project-save is called and overrides file browser's path (which is
something we don't want).
Works around GTK bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769287.
Stop emission of the ::show-menu signal if it was first emitted from an
inactive toggle button, which happens only in the buggy case.
This workaround tries to not negatively affect a correctly behaving GTK
version in the unlikely case some distributions patched their version.
Fixes#1149.
* Add GEANY_ prefix to enumerators.
* Use a discrete set of enumerators so the proxy doesn't have to
worry about flag bitmasks, which isn't required.
* Update documentation.
* Use the new enumerators in Geany.
* Improve debug output for bogus values a bit.
Move the tag manager implementation to src as it really is part of Geany
sources and start making the ctags directory structure similar to
the universal-ctags one.
In principle, the patch does
mv tagmanager/src src/tagmanager
mv tagmanager/ctags tagmanager/main
mv tagmanager ctags
plus corresponding Makefile.am and configure.ac updates.
This demo proxy does not actually do anything useful. It simply loads
pseudo-plugins from an ini-style file. The point is that there will be a plugin
in the PM dialog for each ini. Each ini-plugin also causes a menu item to be
generated.
If the plugin did not set its own user_data we set it to whatever it set
with geany_plugin_register_full() or geany_plugin_set_data().
This is particularly convinient because PluginCallback is usually statically
allocated, at which point dynamically allocated plugin data doesn't exists yet.
- The return value from geany_load_module is removed (void). It was ignored
anyway and we have to check separately whether the plugin loaded OK or not
anyway. If the plugin specific code fails it should simply not call
geany_plugin_register() (which it should only call iff all other conditions
are good).
- GeanyPluginFuncs::init() now returns a bool to allow failing initialization.
Some plugins might want to defer work to their init() (i.e. only do
it when the plugin was activated by the user), and some of that work can
possibly fail (e.g. GtkBuilder fails to load .xml).
Note that the GUI integration of the latter is less than ideal but this kind
of GUI/policy work is out of scope for this patch set. Therefore a plugin
failing to init is simply removed from the PM dialog as if it became
incompatible. However, as the code that generates the list does not call init
they will show up again if the PM dialog is re-opened.
There is no need to do it differently as Linux here, and it confuses the
autotools based compilation of geany-plugins which installs to libdir/geany
unconditionally.
geanyfunctions.h used to bring all function declarations, and some
plugins depend on this side effect instead of properly including
geanyplugin.h directly. So, reintroduce the behavior for
compatibility with those plugins.
In principle, any scrolled window should have GTK_SHADOW_IN so the scrollbars
are not above the surface and there is a frame around the scrolled area.
The only exception are the elements of the main window where adding
GTK_SHADOW_IN causes there are too many shadows (or lines in 2D themes)
around the windows and the result isn't nice. So use GTK_SHADOW_NONE
for all main editor scrolled windows. (One additional exception is the
Help->Credits page which is gray and the extra frame doesn't look good.)
Replace frame around VTE with GtkViewport to avoid the extra line around.
Raise the second editor from the splitwindow plugin so it's at the same
level as the main editor.
This will allow plugins to link against the core when accessing API
functions, now that the macro/struct/funcptr stuff is gone.
Also convert the helper libraries into Libtool helper libraries as
linking a shared library against static libraries is (apparently) not
portable.
Add rest of headers needed for declarations of all public API
functions. Add HAVE_PLUGINS define to geanyplugins.h since some headers
need this and it should always be valid for this header.
geanyfunctions.h left for source-level backwards compatibility for
plugins which might `#include` this header directly. I don't know why
they do it, but some Geany-Plugins do this.
Most of our tree view tooltips were set from plain text values but
parsed as markup by GTK, which sometimes lead to markup errors, when
the tooltip value contained markup control characters.
This also adds ui_tree_view_set_tooltip_text_column() to the plugin
API so plugins can easily set plain text tooltips from tree views
columns.

As discussed in SF bug #125, it might be dangerous to store backup
copies in a publicly accessable directory like /tmp with default
permissions, especially on multi-user systems.
So set the file permissions on non-Windows systems to 0600 by default.
Also improve the documentation of the save Actions plugin to reflect this
change.
