[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] List of dependencies (Issue #1168)

[elextr]

It would be nice, but likely impractical.  Plugins are created and maintained by individuals who decide the dependencies they require.  Geany-plugins is just a collection with a small amount of common infrastructure, not a project creating plugins.

They should have documented dependencies in the `README`, but sometimes they don't update that.  And sometimes plugins become orphaned. And individual plugins maintainers most likely won't have the resources to try on different distros.

If anyone finds undocumented dependencies or issues with specific distros they are encouraged to make a PR updating the plugins README.

Note that its unlikely all plugins will compile on a specific system, some are GTK2 only and some are GTK3 only.
