[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Problem with installing compiled geany (#2044)

[Colomban Wendling]

OK, trying it myself made me find the problem: Geany's sources include a `.spec` file that was probably designed to build a package for Fedora.  Unfortunately *checkinstall* is reading this, which contains incorrect informations like dependencies when building on Ubuntu.

You should pass the correct flags for checkinstall, or remove the spec file before running it.
Something like this might possibly do it: `checkinstall --type=debian --pkgversion="1.35" --provides="geany-abi-72, geany-api-239" --requires="libglib2.0-0, libgtk3.0-0, libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0" --spec=geany_checkinstall.spec --exclude='*.la'`.  Not tested though :warning:
