In a native Wayland session environment (no X11 or Xwayland), Geany has been working great for a long while!

However, when using GTK3, compiled without the X11 backend, Geany fails to launch.

May 05 08:52:54 geany.desktop[659270]: /usr/bin/geany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgeany.so.0: undefined symbol: gdk_x11_window_get_type

  • Arch Linux | Kernel 6.14.5
  • gnome-shell 48.1
  • mutter 48.2
  • wayland (meson_options: xwayland=false, x11=false)
  • gtk3 3.24.49 (meson_options: x11_backend=false)
  • geany 2.0+2b03a7c

Sorry for the noise.

Built git master against the X11-less GTK3 and all is well.

Closing.

FTR yeah that's expected: when the X11 backend is available at build time, dynamic checks are inserted to detect which backend is used at runtime, and those rely on verifying whether some objects are of a backend-specific type, which depend on the relevant APIs being available.
