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

I came across a program called Geany (http://geany.uvena.de/), through the ubuntu command line history meme that has been going around recently.

On a whim I tried compiling in scratchbox and suprisingly it worked for me with no dependencies (perhaps I had everything installed already - 2gb root partition).

It seems to run on the n810/os2008 with no problems and I find it to be a great editor with syntax highlighting for multiple languages.

It seems once you save a file as .rb it runs the ruby interpreter on the execute function - but runs python with .py files - I imagine this works also for the other languages that geany supports.

As my n810 just arrived from the developer program and I have already had a few celebratory drinks i thought the 'right thing' to do was to just release this package immediately and clean it up afterwards. So here you go:

http://gplsystems.com/maemo/geany_0.9-1_armel.deb

UPDATE:
Here is the 0.13 (debian sid) release - http://gplsystems.com/maemo/geany_0.13-1_armel.deb


Install this as root (sudo gainroot with becomeroot installed) with:
dpkg -i geany_0.9-1_armel.deb

lts not properly packaged - i'll add it to my apt repository (gplsystems.com) as soon as i get the time (probably this weekend or the next) but I thought some people might enjoy a rough port in the meantime.

Also apologies to anyone who contacted me recently about the hebrew input plugin for maemo - i have not had a maemo device recently so have not been able to do any porting/development but now that I have the n810 I plan to get involved again :) the keyboard makes all the difference!

Hope someone finds this useful, let me know if there are any problems, I plan to make the one click install/apt repository upload over the next week or so as soon as I find the time.

Thanks! I was just today thinking that someone needed to do this. Of course, it would be nicer with a desktop file to launch from the menu and full hildonization, but this is certainly a start.

Hmm, correct if i'm wrong but wasn't Geany version 0.13 already?

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

I'm working on that, I have a desktop icon on my device already - when I package properly on the weekend I'll make sure that is working.

As far as hildonisation its all a learning process for me right now, so if I figure that out it will be in the package eventually - otherwise maybe someone can help :)

Thanks bundyo, by mistake I uploaded the debian stable version as opposed to the sid version.

Here is the 0.13 (debian sid) release - http://gplsystems.com/maemo/geany_0.13-1_armel.deb

Cool! I couldn't get SciTE to work correctly on Chinook, so have been trying to find an IDE solution using emulators (Basilisk II, DOSbox, Bochs) the last 24 hours. Thanks! And the Xvkbd virtual keyboard works great with it.

I love free software & open source :)
its so great to get a response so quickly and be able to share....

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

Yes this is a great editor, thanks! I'm doing c# development and right away it understands syntax highlighting and can parse out the symbols in the current file for calltips... thats without doing anything.

Now time to see what else this thing can do.... :)

omg... projects? :)

Thanks realitygaps! This was much needed.

Is there any chance you (or anyone else who can easily build something) could build the GDB plugin at http://yetanothergeek.justfree.com/geanydebug/ ?

That would be amazing for our little NITs.

Hi BruceL, I made a tar.gz of the geanydebug plugin for Geany IDE compiled for chinook in scratchbox.

http://gplsystems.com/maemo/geanydebug-maemo-0.0.1.tar.gz

-- Untar the tar.gz file into your home directory (as a user)
-- It will create a /home/user/.geany/plugins directory with the geanydebug plugin inside

I haven't tested this at all (my n810 is at home today) - but perhaps it will work. It says on the geanydebug website "Note: The plugin is currently working for Linux/PC only!" so don't be suprised if it doesn't.
