<p>I did not know <code>make install</code> did that, that's a lot less of an issue then.</p>

<p>Could the data folder be treated like the config folder, a default value you can override on the command line? With that there should be only dealing with <code>libgeany.so.0</code> left to make a portable version (launched through a bash script setting relative path).</p>
