These were needed for Scope plugin which uses a vte terminal.
Possibly, but scope is C, it would not need the C++ packages. And the C -dev versions of these packages would be needed to build Geany so they should be available (Geany uses libvte too).
Indeed, I was able to remove the mm stuff and still run the ./configure with the options I had used. They got pulled in when I installed something related to getting configure to find the VTE libs. It looks like I pulled in more than was needed.
I remember being a bit surprised but did not spend much time worrying about it.
Thanks for pointing that out, some more cruft eliminated.
