Compiling Geany is quite easy. The following should do it:

					% ./configure
					% make
					% make install
				

The configure script supports several common options, for a detailed list, type

					% ./configure --help
				

In the case, that your system lacks dynamic linking loader support, you probably want to pass the option --disable-vte to the configure script. This prevents compiling Geany with dynamic linking loader support to automatically load libvte.so.4 if available.

Geany has been successfully compiled and tested under Debian 3.1 Sarge, Debian 3.2 Etch, Fedora Core 4, LinuxFromScratch and FreeBSD 6.0. It also compiles under Mircosoft Windows™, but there are lots of changes to the makefiles necessary.

If there are any errors during compilation, check your build environment and try to find the error, otherwise contact the author at <enrico.troeger@uvena.de>.
