Ah, didn't know I could also use that, I alway used the waf script ...

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
...
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GEANY... no
configure: error: Package requirements (geany >= 1.23) were not met:

Requested 'geany >= 1.23' but version of Geany is 1.22

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GEANY_CFLAGS
and GEANY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
