Re: [ANNOUNCE] Geany IDE - supports C,C++,python,java,php,ruby,etc...
 

Could someone help me get geany working through "Personal Menu" as root? With personal menu I find that it wont run when "root" option is selected but if I select the terminal option, it asks for the root password which I thought was "rootme". Basically if I run geany through xterminal after I "sudo gainroot" it works great but launching it through the normal menu's it looks different and doesn't quit fit in the 800x480 display quite right. Oh also it doesn't have rights to save a file.

Am I making any sense?

You have to edit your "sudoers" file to allow geany to launch as root. The Personal Menu thread has more information on how to do this.

Well I found a work around... I picked up an iGo BT Stowaway Keyboard (that doesn't say it works for the N* ITT but it works very well.) I gives me braces, and all the important special characters. I successfully coded up a quick Hello World and Greany built and ran it. Cool!

Hi,

I know some Java and am teaching myself C++. This app seems perfect for that, since I can just grab my N810 open a C++ for dummies manual pdf and Geany, then switch between them and you know...learn stuff on the subway.

I wrote a happy little Hello World program but I couldn't get it to compile and run. Is there soemthing I am missing? I would take it as a great and wonderful personal favour if someone would be so kind as to spell out exactly what one has to do to compile and run a piece of code.

Thanks.

Oh, I should point out that the code was clean and that Geany was set to read C++ and that I used the template for a .cpp file.

Have you installed gcc, g++ and make?
You can also install gdb for debugging and if you have debian ddd is a great GUI based debugger.

Good luck!

Aha. I had a feeling I couldn't get away with installing just Geany. Thanks... as you can probably tell, I am *very* new with all this.

(You should have seen me on that first day with eclipse)

Cheers

Hello again,

Ok...so I installed g++ using "apt-get install g++". Then I set geany to run as root from the personal menu (which looks way nicer) as per the steps outlined in the personal menu thread. Then I went into the geany preferences to give the correct path to xterm.

Now when I choose build from the build menu it says compiled correctly, and when I choose run it launches xterm...but xterm closes immediately. As in it closes before it can show anything.

So I just need help with this last thing and I'll be on my way. What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to find curly braces in geany but I couldn't. I'm using n810 and the chr key doesn't seem to work. Also I could compile my simple console C++ application in it but while pressing the execute menu item it shows "Failed to execute the terminal program" so should I do. I have all the gcc's , g++'s and make files. So, please help me. Thanks..

What needs to be set when running Geany, installed via the App Manager, to be able to safe files? Or has that been answered already? Missed it...
