Finally taking the plunge and building Geany from source. Trying it out in a VM running Xubuntu (Ubuntu with Xfce) 20.04. Installed 1.36 via apt, works. Downloaded 1.38 source, two dependencies installed via apt (libgtk-3-dev and intltool) and successfully ran configure, make, and sudo make install. Everything worked but I can't find the 1.38 executable for Geany and using either the Xfce system menu or invoking Geany from the command line still gives me 1.36. This is where the "build from source" instructions stop. What am I doing wrong here?
If you ran the default build commands then Geany will be installed in the default prefix (/usr/local IIRC). You need to ensure that ${geany-prefix}/bin appears in your path before the location of the 1.36 version.
Xfce menu setups are part of the distros packaging, not something Geany from source will do.
