An ASCII art representation:
``` +-----+ | GTK | +-----+ ^ | +-------+ +----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ | Geany |------------>| LibGeany |<---| Your Lib | | Other Lib | +-------+ +----------+ +----------+ +-----------+ ^ ^ ^ +----------+ | | | | Plugin A |---------------+ | | +----------+ | | | | | | +----------+ | | | | Plugin B |---------------+----------------+ | +----------+ | | | | | | +----------+ | | | | Plugin C |---------------+----------------+---------------+ +----------+ ```
"Plugin A", "Plugin B" and "Plugin C" depend on "LibGeany" as every plugin does. "Plugin B" and "Plugin C" also depend on your "Your Lib" (which itself depends on "LibGeany"). "Plugin C" additionally depends on some "Other Lib" unrelated to Geany/Gtk.
