[Geany] Compiling Multiple Files

[MATT GRINNAN]

Is there a way to compile multiple files in geany? I work with a lot of c and c++ programs so I hope there is a way to compile both with multiple files.

AFAIK, Geany can't compile multiple files by itself, but anyway I don't
think the current Geany's integrated build commands are really meant to
build large programs.

But Geany can launch any command you want when you ask for build. So if
you use a simple Makefile, the Autotools, CMake, Waf, Scons or whatever,
you can simply choose the right command to launch. For make-based builds
(Autotools, CMake in most cases, ...) you simply need to use the Make
action (F9 by default IIRC), Build->Make.

Columban is correct. Geany just runs the single command you
configure, it does not dictate to you how you should build your
software. It is up to that command to compile whatever you want. For
possible programs which provide this capability and lots more besides
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_build_automation_software

So as to be backward the default configuration is set up for "make".
Sorry that should be backward compatible :-).
