That's suggests, not recommends, so it's not dragged in by default.
Hum, it probably should become a recommend IMHO, it's an important feature and it used to be available to most people (because libvte9 used to be installed by other apps like gnome-terminal, which now depends on libvte-2.90-9).
Why not just make it a hard dependency that's enabled by building against it at build time instead of dlopen()ing it?
IIUC that would mean that Geany binaries could not be run on any system without libvte9 installed, the user would have to re-compile? That doesn't sound acceptable to me.
I second this.
