Sorry to be confusing, I was interrupted in answering and sent the half finished comment, and even after editing its still confusing.

So to be clear.

If I understand correctly the standard Geany supplied by Ubuntu (and thus Mint) is built against GTK-3, but the markdown plugin up to and including 1.33 required webkitgtk which is a GTK-2 version so it isn't compatible with the supplied GTK-3 Geany and thats likely why the markdown plugin isn't included in the software manager.

The current Git and therefore next release 1.34 will also work with webkit2gtk which is GTK-3.

if @RuinChristmas builds the git version of the markdown plugin against the standard supplied Geany it should work, no need to build a whole GTK-2 version like @Skif-off did.

The errors look like some missing build tools, and as I said I am told that apt can load the required tools if its asked for `build-deps` (never done it myself though).
