Hi,

I wanted to try running geany from source,
so an autogen.sh and make later I've got it.

I run src/geany, skipping make install since I don't want to install it,
it gives me the error Failed to open file '/usr/local/share/geany/geany.glade'.

I look around and find no option or environment variable to change the data directory, (something like -c)

The two options I found were:

• mkdir build && ./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/build && make && make install
• changing in https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/utils.c#L2142 GEANY_DATADIR to ""

neither are good.

Is there something to do to use a source version of geany that doesn't requires modifying the source code or installing it after each make?
