Where did you get that configure from? The one in the source package on the geany download site does not contain that line.

I have downloaded the source code file from https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36.tar.gz. please check the log file for detailed information.

So the error occurs when running autogen.sh, not the configure that is provided by the project. What happens when you run that?

Autogen.sh is only meant to be run on git downloads to create configure. Works for me with a git clone on Linux mint which is based on Ubuntu 18.04.

See the message after the libtoolize ones, google says this is because you don't have the gettext devel installed.

You probably haven't installed the dependencies needed to build. In this case it's probably `libglib2.0-dev` which contains the GLib gettextize macros that appear to be missing, I believe.

Even easier though, just run `sudo apt-get build-dep geany` which should install all the packages and development files required to build Geany from source.

`apt-get build-deps` needs access to the source package as the error message notes. Enable the source packages should fix it.

Dunno then, like I said it works for me on Linux Mint which is Ubuntu 18.04 based, Autofools experts needed.

You could delete the file `configure` in the root source directory and re-run `autogen.sh` to regenerate it, maybe it got messed up due to the previously missing Autoconf/M4 dependencies.

I have compiled geany successfully along with geany plugins. Actual problem is from my side due to compilation errors from autotools. After reinstalling autotools compilation went without errors.
