You can build the plugins using Autotools.

You can use Autotools to build the Geany plugins in this repository.

Usage:

./configure [arguments] or alternatively ./autogen.sh [arguments]
make
sudo make install

autogen.sh will call configure in background and is only available if you are using Geany plugins from git repository. It is not included in release packages.

However, this will configure, build and install most of the Geany plugins. There is some auto-detection in place which automagically disables some of the plugins if there are insufficient build dependencies. The following arguments can tweak the behaviour of the configure script.

A full listing of all supported options can be found in ./configure --help.

The following options can be passed to ./configure in forms --enable-<option>=auto (default), --enable-<option>, --disable-<option>. In all cases, --enable-<option>=auto causes the feature to be enabled/disabled automatically based on whether the dependency exists on your system. --enable-<option> causes the feature to be forcefully enabled, causing configure to fail with an error message if you have missing dependencies. --disable-<option> causes the feature to be forcefully disabled.

Example:

./configure --enable-geanylua --enable-spellcheck

This will force both geanylua and spellcheck plugins to be enabled even if some dependencies are missing.

You can also use the special option all-plugins to change the default for all plugins. For example, using --enable-all-plugins will forcefully enable all plugins as if you passed each plugin-specific --enable-<option>. This can be combined with specific plugin's --enable-<option> to only select a specific subset of the plugins without listing them all. For example, you can use this to easily enable one single plugin, using e.g. --disable-all-plugins --enable-<option>, or to forcefully enable all plugins but a few specific ones, using e.g. --enable-all-plugins --enable-<option>=auto.

The following options can be passed to ./configure in the form --with-<option>=<argument>.

• lua-pkg -- the name of the Lua pkg-config package name.
• geany-prefix -- Geany's prefix, used when compiling Geany.

The Geany Plugins project uses a recursive Automake build system, which means that after running ./configure, you may compile each individual plugin by cd-ing into the respective plugin directory and running make inside it.
