Hi,
Sorry about that! I won't change topic in the middle of a thread.
I've figured out why the installation documentation didn't work for me: You pre-generate the 'configure' script and package this when you distribute a release in a tarball, but this configure script isn't checked into the repository. I checked out the source-code from github, but the documentation doesn't mention anything about running './autogen.sh' first. (Sorry, I haven't done much C programming for a while...)
Since the project has moved to Github, more people will be getting the source code straight from the repository. So it might be helpful to replace " $ ./configure " with " $ ./autogen.sh " in the "Autotools based build system" section of the manual (http://www.geany.org/manual/current/#installation), and also in the installation section of the README.
Thanks, Nathan

P.S. The documentation needs to be updated for the 'waf' build system, in quite a few places, including geany-plugins.
I don't refer to other points as I would need to catch up discussion on github before (wth why are we using differnt chanels? can we turn off the github commenting stuff.. its a nightmare)
However, comments like you do above are not very helpful. If there is a mistake inside documentation, which might can happen - no question - we still don't know where and what might be wrong. Please be so kind and point to the place you did found the issue. Comments like this only causes us to re ask you one and another time and also are giving a bad formating of you hint (read: I'm a bit against you change succession idea before I ever see it.... which is not a good starting point)
