OK, I figured out that I need autoconf etc. So installed them and ran ./autogen.sh and started installing the libraries that it complained about but ran into a problem with glib. It kept complaining about needing glib even after I installed it so I installed glib-devel as well but it still complained. I did the same with glibc in case it was a package name error but still no joy.
So I'm more or less stymied. Peter PS This experience has reinforced my belief the PyGObject is the best way to do GUIs as it hides all these difficult setup issues :-)

When I do:
./configure
I get "No such file or directory" so things aren't going well.

I'll give it a go.
Don't forget you have to manually select --enable-gtk3 to the configure.
If you untared the tarball into /some/dir giving /some/dir/geany adding --prefix=/some/dir to the configure as well will allow you to install in /some/dir and not touch your system install

@pwil3058 https://github.com/pwil3058 you would have been better commenting here not on the closed issue #1135 https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1135.
Can you try building from the latest Git version that contains the fix to see if it fixes your issue? There is a nightly tarball that
minimises
the build dependencies you need.
