After installing I did run successfully /c/geany/bin/geany but under Tools--Plugin Manager I got empty plugins. I will continue with the wiki trying to create the installers and I will investigate further on why the plugins are not in the plugin manager even though installed.
I remember having the same problem in [#4082 (comment)](https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4082#issuecomment-2509035605) but I also didn't find a way to manage to see them (but I didn't spend much time on it).
@techee I found out that the reason was that the .dll were not actually built.
I updated the instructions, basically before the configure you have to run an export: ``` export lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=${lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='pass_all'} ./configure --prefix=/c/geany make -j make install ```
