[Released] Geany Portable

Thanks

I like the skin I was able to use. I couple it with the Dark Geany file defs, and its just flows

Yes, sometime this week. I worked on it friday, and I'm gonna check and make sure everything is good and up to par (except for the language switching, but I have a hunting party arranged for that I hope). Expect it this week.

k. Updated

Sweet I'm glad to know that its possible it will go official

You are correct on both counts. I will apply the patches, and note credit in the Help.html
*EDIT* Updated as promised

sadly, I've never setup Geany to use MinGW. The PATH stuff I setup in the launcher and that is in the documentation works, however. *UPDATE*, I just set it up, and got it to work. See below for the steps.

From the online documentation which may or may not be better then the help.html included with Geany Portable (I have to look).

If you have compilers on your drive, Geany may not know where to find them. Worse, they may not even be present on your borrowed system. Geany Portable includes a method to handle this situation.

1. Copy the GeanyPortable.ini file included within GeanyPortable\Other\Source to the root of GeanyPortable. (If you have GeanyPortable.ini located at GeanyPortable\ already, you may skip this step)
2. Open up GeanyPortable.ini and create a key called PathAdditions.
3. Specify from the root of the portable device. Use should use @Drive for the drive letter. Specify in the format @Drive\Perl\bin\, etc. Separate with multiple entries with a semicolon.

It's that easy!

Here's the contents of my GeanyPortable.ini in which I have NSIS (which doesn't quite work) and Perl Portable (which does work):

[GeanyPortable]
#specify from the root of the portable device.  Use @Drive for the drive letter.  Specify in the format @Drive\Perl\bin\perl.exe, etc.
PathAdditions=@DRIVE\PortableApps\NSISPortable;@DRIVE\PortableApps\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.2-portable\perl\site\bin;@DRIVE\PortableApps\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.2-portable\perl\bin;@DRIVE\PortableApps\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.2-portable\c\bin;
DisableSplashScreen=false
ApplicationLanguage=
AdditionalFonts=false

So, if you have Mingw Portable, you'll need to include the path to the actual mingw binaries. That should be something like @DRIVE\PortableApps\MingwPortable\App\mingw\bin

Lemme know if you have more question or a suggestion.

*UPDATE*
I just installed Mingw Portable and set it up. You'll need to add @DRIVE\PortableApps\MingwPortable\App\mingw\bin to the PathAdditions section in your GeanyPortable.ini

Use build and execute. In Geany, select the menu entry Build, then set includes and arguments. Change execute to be "%e".

Should be good to go. My hello world program worked okay.
