Hi Chow,
remembering that I'm AC_illiterate :) the problem seems to be that plugins configure where they install based on where geany's pkg-config says, ignoring what the --prefix option says.
The --prefix should override the standard location
Ah yes, there was that issue. My intention was for it to use Geany's prefix, simply because there really isn't a point in stuffing plugins where you don't have a Geany installation. e.g. Geany in /usr, but geany-plugins at /usr/local would cause some confusion. Hence, what was done was:
- autodetect Geany's ${pkglibdir} and install plugins in there.
- Allow manual specification of Geany's prefix by
--with-geany-prefix=/some/other/path
Come to think of it, I don't really remember why I wanted to use --with-geany-prefix separately from --prefix. Perhaps --with-geany-prefix's functionality should be shifted to --prefix instead. What do you think? That should fix all your issues.
You can have a look what I do in gproject:

I would say it's sufficient this way, or do you see some problem there?
