<p>I have been attempting to compile geany from git and although it appears to build successfully, when I try to run it, the following error is displayed:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(geany:29825): Geany-ERROR **: 16:14:48.297: Cannot create user-interface: Failed to open file “geany.glade”: No such file or directory<br>
Trace/breakpoint trap</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I have configured the build with './autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/geany' and when I type in the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/opt/geany/bin/geany --print-prefix</p>
</blockquote>
<p>the following is displayed:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/opt/geany<br>
/opt/geany/share<br>
/opt/geany/lib<br>
/opt/geany/share/locale</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Due to the error, I tried to install from the repository for my linux distribution (Debian testing/buster) on a 64 bit machine and even their version has the same problem.</p>
<p>I can change to the /opt/geany/share/geany directory and then run the program and it will start up (as the glade file is in that directory) but then it will not load the plugins that I have also built from git.</p>
<p>I note that in the Makefile that GEANY_DATA_DIR is being set to /opt/geany/share/geany which seems to be correct but it does not seem to be getting taken into account in the final executable or libraries.</p>
<p>Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.</p>
