Hey Harold,
My request:
--libdir= should not be overridden by the configure script and geanyprj (and maybe other plugins?) should install themselves into ${libdir}/geany
See http://git.geany.org/?p=geany-plugins;a=blob;f=spellcheck/configure.in#l50 (geanyprj has the same three lines). And it affects also most/all other external plugins.
AFAIR, the problem is that when accepting the --libdir command line option, there is no way to set libdir to a sane default value if the command line option is not passed. Well, there most probably there *is* a such a way but when I wrote the configure.in for the spellcheck plugin I didn't know how to do this and after we got waf for the plugins, I lost interest, especially since autotools are not my best friends. I guess Yura others felt similar when they copied these three lines to their plugins :).
So, to make a long story short, patches are welcome.
Regards, Enrico
