So I followed https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2 and built successfully from the cloned git repos geany and then geany-plugins and installed both.
Note that I had a build error on geany-plugins complaining about missing files which were in fact present, that error was resolved with the following diff

diff --git a/geanygendoc/docs/Makefile.am b/geanygendoc/docs/Makefile.am
index f3975b69..bde0f83a 100644

 endif BUILD_RST

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.
