Travis,
There is a discussion in the fpc archives 2014 I believe about using Geany.
I have been using Geany for over 10 years with complex GUI programs ...
but you must use a file located in the directory where the executable is
linked.
... in this case extrafps.cfg
... and reference the file extrafpc.cfg in Geany
BTW : The guys documenting FPC have never bothered to describe this in
any documentation that I can find.

FPC and Lazarus are as unified as is sensible. We keep them different
by *choice* so that users don't think that they *have* to choose
Lazarus if they don't want to.
But the problem is (as I've repeatedly stated on this list) is that if
one doesn't use lazarus for their IDE, then building anything other
than basic command line programs is nearly impossible. I've asked
(multiple times) on this list for samples of doing various things with
FPC that lazarus does with ease, (such as GUI, and networking),
without using lazarus, and each and every time, the silence has been
deafening.
I've never once received any information on doing these kinds of
things without Lazarus. Sure, there's a (very) few examples of using
tcp/ip networking with the default FPC install, but those examples are
about as simplistic as it's possible to get, which actually shows next
to nothing about such capabilities. aAnd, I've *never* seen any
samples of how to build a GUI app just by using the command line
compiler. I've done searches on google, and asked on this list, and
everything I can turn up shows nothing as relates to building an FPC
app with a GUI w/o using some IDE or other.(mostly lazarus), so if you
could kindly point me to such resources, I'd love to see them
Typically when I ask such questions on this list, I get either no
response at all, or I get snarky ones that contribute nothing to the
discussion. (mostly from yourself).
This is why I almost never use FPC for program development, unless
it's a cross platform application that can run from the command line,
there's just no point in doing otherwisesince I don't use an IDE of
any kind.
I use powerbasic when GUI is required on windows, and java when GUI is
required on other platforms.
I'd love to use FPC, since it otherwise checks all the boxes, cross
platform, and capable of networking, and GUI programming, but I simply
can't, because I can't find any examples of such for someone who
doesn't use Lazarus.
