[Github-comments] [geany/geany] What exactly are the required deps for building on Ubuntu? (#2403)

[Dan Dascalescu]

I've installed `build-essential`, but beyond that, the build instructions in the README are pretty vague. When I run `./configure`, I get

> configure: error: in `/home/dandv/prg/geany-1.36':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

This is unnecessarily painful. Ubuntu is a very popular distro. Can we please have a one-liner `apt install ...` with the deps for Ubuntu?
