geany

There are many topics floating around covering codesign issues with macOS, from 10.5 onward. What I wanted to achieve is, to get Geany working with the GNU Debugger (gdb). Debugger is found in geany, but the (already quite known) error message is: Error message from debugger back end: Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 39847: (os/kern) failure (0x5).\n (please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8)) Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 39847: (os/kern) failure (0x5).\n (please check gdb is codesigned - see taskgated(8)) Generally there are many restrictions to consider

My editor ( Geany ) changes the colour of a comment when a comment starts with /*! . What's the difference between /* ... */ and /*! ... */ ? The ! prevents YUI compressor from removing the comment when it compresses. (It just removes 1 ! instead. Multiple !'s mean you can compress multiple times without loss of the comment.) It's just an extension, but not part of javascript itself. Documentation is here . Search for 'C-style comments'. also, I'm not aware of any other compressors that respect the !. Packer , closure compiler , shrinksafe , and jsmin do not respect it at least. They are both

I've been trying to modify the default Python compiler/run command in Geany. Some searching indicated that I would need to modify `/usr/share/geany/filetypes.python's last two lines as follows #compiler=python -m py_compile "%f" #run_cmd=python "%f" compiler=python3 -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('%f')" run_cmd=python3 "%f" After restarting Geany however, Build -> Set Build Commands still shows the old commands and attemping to run a py3 script causes errors. First at all: Don't change the global configuration for something like this, as this will change default behaviour for all
