Hi everyone,
recently, I have tried to build the geany-plugins from the git repository on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. So, I installed autotools and the build essentials packages and tried to follow the instructions given in the readme. it fails right at the beginning though with both the configure and autogen.sh calls.
./configure results in: configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing install-sh
./autogen.sh results in: configure.ac:16: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing install-sh
it also states that I should run aclocal, but that doesn't seem to change anything You should update your 'aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
I've put the full terminal output here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HnXXFmqjdk/
Am I missing something that I need to install or pass to those calls? The readme isn't that informative about what is required to actually build the plugins.
Hope someone can help me.
Best regards, Fireclaw

Looks like you might be missing libtool?
Thank you, this was the missing piece for the configuration step. I also needed the libgit2-dev package to build the workbench plugin, but that seems to be specific to this one plugin. Would be nice if the dependencies were listed somewhere.
