I have not been able to find the markdown plugin for Geany for CentOS 7 on EPEL despite a number of other plugins being available. I filed a bug report some time ago so it may eventually be resolved.

[...] .libs/libgeanypluginutils_la-filelist.o: In function `filelist_scan_directory_int': /home/h/geany-plugins/utils/src/filelist.c:95: undefined reference to `utils_get_real_path' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Any idea how to fix the problem?

Compared to compiling geany-plugins, compiling geany is relatively simple and quick. > > Regards, > Matthew Brush > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)lists.geany.org > https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users Noted. For now, however, I did compile the plugins - I ran ./configure and make as a regular user but noted that make install needed to be run as root. Do I then need to copy files to the appropriate directory, it does not look like make install does that, correct? If I need to copy files, do I copy all of them or, if not, which ones?

When you run the configure script, at the end it prints a report of all what plugins will be built. If you're missing a dependency, it will skip building the plugin unless you explicitly pass --enable-markdown=yes, in which case it will cause an error. You probably didn't build it due to missing dependency.
