Installing latest Geany (1.22) in debian 6

Installing latest Geany (1.22) in debian 6

you gotta make from sources package, just like installing python 2.7.3 on debian 6.

1. You need these dependencies first
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
apt-get install intltool

2. download source distrib

3. unpack
4. ./configure --prefix=/path/to/where-you-wanna-put-geany-program-files

You should get this

config.status: creating doc/geany.1
config.status: creating geany.spec
config.status: creating geany.pc
config.status: creating doc/Doxyfile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
config.status: executing default-1 commands
config.status: executing po/stamp-it commands
-----------------------------------------------------
Install Geany in                 : /home/your-path-to-install-to/geany
Using GTK version                : 2.20.1

5. make install

There you have it.



EDIT: To install Geany plugins for debian 6, you need to build them,

set this env variable first:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/<your-username>/geany/lib/pkgconfig
then only run ./configure

    ShiftColumn:                  yes

Then
sudo make install
