Hey Tim,

Pango recently switched from autotools/libtool to meson/ninja and it seems that geany-plugins can't handle that. The compile/install fails on:
/bin/sed: can't read /opt/X11/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.la: No such file or directory libtool: error: '/opt/X11/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive
Those files are not installed anymore with latest pango. Is there a fix or is pango with meson/ninja not supported?
I don't think .la files are required by autotools/libtool. For example I don't have those on my Debian system for any packaged library (Debian is not shipping .la files for a long time now), and I don't have any problem. Maybe you did configure geany-plugins at a time the .la file existed, and somehow it then expects to find it? You should try and re-generating the build system, ideally from a clean clone, but maybe simply `make distclean` and then `./autogen.sh` again. If that's not it, are you 100% sure *no* files in your pango installation is referring the .la, possibly an outdated one from before their switch that would still lie somewhere?
