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
/opt/X11 is a strange location, have you built your own GTK stack?
Yes, this is a linux from scratch machine. All my X11 stuff is under /opt/X11 and this works fine, after setting up a few symlinks.
Just if that was not clear: I'm not exactly a newbie to compiling stuff myself and I have previously successfully compiled and installed geany-plugins and geany that way before. It's really the pango switch to meson/ninja that might irritate some packages, as previously I never had an issue.
Might well be that calling ./autoconf.sh fixes all that.
Worth a try, maybe something in your unusual setup confuses autofools.
No, it's really the .la files that cause the trouble, I've now found similar reports from other packages that get into trouble when some .la files reference other .la files that now are missing due to the switch away from libtool. I never liked libtool, anyways..
Removing all .la files fixes the problem.
Sorry for the noise, it's really not geany related.
Bye Tim
