FreeBASIC/Geany tagging engine fixed

Post by AGS »

Geany (=an open source cross platform editor/ide) tags symbols in the sourcecode and shows them as functions/labels/variables/etc.... in a sidepane. There were some bugs in the way Geany tagged FreeBASIC sourcecode.

So I filed a bugreport and the bugs have already been fixed by the Geany developers. The next version of Geany will have improved tagging of FreeBASIC sourcecode (current version Geany = 0.15).

It's a good thing to have great IDEs that support FreeBASIC syntax.

I look forward to the updated version, this is my IDE of choice. Do you have a patched binary available for Linux?

I found a RPM package for a version created after the FB bugs were fixed. I found the package at this adres

http://www.dominichopf.de/geany/svnbuil ... 0.i386.rpm

I am not sure if the version pointed to by the link above is what you'd consider a patch. And it's an RPM (fedora core 10 version) that could, however, be installed on a Debian/Ubunty system by using the alien - package

The Debian/Ubuntu package repositories contain the official 0.15 release (without the latest FreeBASIC bug fixes).
