Hi,
I started reading the introduction page on plugin development:

http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/howto.html

I copy pasted the program and fired a shell to compile it , this is what I got:

shankhs@shankhs:~/geany/shankhs$ gcc -c plugin.c -fPIC `pkg-config --cflags geany`

shankhs@shankhs:~/geany/shankhs$ gcc plugin.o -o plugin.so-shared `pkg-config --libs geany`
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The last error was a show stopper , I wasn't able to go forward :( .
I am not great with pkg-config, so can anybody please help me in finding a solution to this problem?

Where is geany's lib folder exactly installed? and where should I put my plugin to let geany know?

Thank you
shankhs
