Hi all
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 can now confirm that just by copying the pango .la files from an old installation using libtool will fix the issue and geany-plugins 1.32 the compiles fine against pango 1.40.14 using meson/ninja.
So, maybe geany-plugins should check about the existence of the pango la files, as it seems that pango in the future will drop autotools/libtool support (it's the gnome/redhat way).
