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.
The compiler by itself will not use that file. Here is the mechanism used by
the compiler:
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/user/usersu10.html
So if geany or one of its plugins does something with that file,
then you should be looking in the geany documentation for the mechanism
used: I can't be expected to document every plugin for every editor on the
planet.
Based on your scant information, I can only assume that the abovementioned file
(is it extrafps.cfg or extrafpc.cfg or both, or is that a typo ?)
is a regular FPC configuration file.
I know the fpGUI project uses extrafpc.cfg or extra.cfg or so, but you need
to pass it to the compiler through @extrafpc.cfg.
If it is a fpc config file, then in that case it is definitely documented here:
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/user/userse17.html
