You need to build Geany first and then build the plugins for that.

You can build Geany without installing it in the system by:

1. assuming you cloned to /somepath/geany
2. cd geany
3. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/somepath
4. make install

NOTE: this does not use sudo, so you *cannot* overwrite the system
install, even if you forget the prefix :)

Then you build geany-plugins

1. assuming you cloned to /somepath/geany-plugins
2. cd geany-plugins
3. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/somepath --with-geany-libdir=/somepath/lib
4. make install

NOTE: again no sudo so it can't overwrite the system install

5. look at what complains and install missing dependencies, go to step 3 :)

Cheers
Lex
