There is nothing turning it on either, who knows what weird distro package builds do ;-)

I suggest that if building from git it is best to actually do that, there are far fewer moving parts:

cd ~; mkdir my_git_geany; cd my_git_geany
git clone https://github.com/geany/geany.git
cd geany; ./autogen.sh --prefix= /absolute_path_to_home/my_git_geany; make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git
cd geany-plugins;
./autogen.sh --prefix= /absolute_path_to_home/my_git_geany --with-geany-libdir= /absolute_path_to_home/my_git_geany/lib
make install
cd ../bin; ./geany -c ../config

Note:

1. everything is in ~/my_git_geany, so just rm -rf it when done
2. does not use your config, so it won't break a session you are doing
3. does not use sudo so can't accidentally damage a system install

I did try to have this incantation added to the readme or install as the simplest build method, but there were so many objections from people complaining it did not comply with their idea of a "proper" way to build and other variations and complications and whatifs that I gave up and so everyone is left on their own :-(.
