## Source compilation

Compiling Geany is quite easy. The following should do it:

    					% ./configure
    					% make
    					% make install

The configure script supports several common options, for a detailed list, type

    					% ./configure --help

There also some compile time options which can be found in `src/geany.h`. Please see Appendix C, Compile time options for more information.

In the case that your system lacks dynamic linking loader support, you probably want to pass the option --disable-vte to the configure script. This prevents compiling Geany with dynamic linking loader support to automatically load `libvte.so.4` if available.

Geany has been successfully compiled and tested under Debian 3.1 Sarge, Debian 4.0 Etch, Fedora Core 3/4/5, LinuxFromScratch and FreeBSD 6.0. It also compiles under Microsoft Windows™.

If there are any errors during compilation, check your build environment and try to find the error, otherwise contact the author at `<enrico.troeger@uvena.de>`.
