[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Debugger plugin missing in Geany 1.37.1 compiled for Ubuntu 18.04 on Nvidia Jetson Nano (#1116)

[xiota]

The packages appear to work for Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.10.  I don't have 18.04 or 21.04 installed anymore.  The debugger and scope plugins both load fine.  I have not used them, so don't know if they have any other issues.  The packages do not have any special patches, so if any changes were needed, they've already been merged.  The only changes needed were to the control file (dependency info).

I did see that OP had built Geany and Geany plugins from source.  I have not done so on 18.04, but on 21.04 and 21.10, Geany and Geany plugins from the repository have to be completely uninstalled.  The problem is the repository installs to `/usr`, but building from source goes to `/usr/local`.  If the Geany include files are present in both locations, trying to build the plugins just won't work -period- (Murphy's Law).

When building packages, the `dpkg` system builds configures them to install to `/usr`.  So the above-mentioned problem doesn't occur.  The 1.37 plugins even seem to work fine with Geany 1.39.  Since OP mentions `/usr/local` paths, the `dpkg` system was probably *not* being used to build `deb` packages.

Another potential issue is missing dependencies.  Anything not listed in the control file won't be installed automatically.  If dependencies aren't installed, the plugin won't show up in the plugin manager.  But usually building fails when dependencies aren't installed.
