[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] Extend mingw support (#374)

[Enrico Tröger]

>> `prefix=./` results in more problems than it solves. I got many weird issues with this :(. For G-P GeanyLua even refused to compiled, saying `libtool:   error: only absolute run-paths are allowed`.

> Yeah not surprising.  Adgain I guess the "right" solution is `--prefix=/` combined with `DESTDIR=/where/to/install`.
Maybe. I did not used this but kept the previous approach which is a bit
more cumbersome but seems to work for now.

>> More seriously, yes, I started again way too late with this in terms of close release date. But also hoped other people might be more interested in getting this to work, after the big "yeah, let's remove Waf" enthusiasm.

> Yeah unfortunately that happens :(  And while I do like the idea, I also know I'm reluctant to mess with build stuff under Windows because I fear it.  I think (and hope) I made clear I liked the idea but wouldn't really be of much help… anyway, I could still kick me off and give it a try, maybe it just works (for the Geany part).
No worries. You do tons of cool and more important stuff. Don't waste
your time with Windows issues.

>> Another topic: can I push further changes to this topic into this already merged branch or should I better create a new branch (the branch just got merged too early)?
> 
> You can, I just thing we won't ever be able to re-open it (which is mostly cosmetic somehow).  You could also open a new PR for the same branch.  And don't forget to add the "WIP" label so no one gets confused :)
Thanks. We got: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/376
