<p>Sorry to be confusing, I was interrupted in answering and sent the half finished comment, and even after editing its still confusing.</p>
<p>So to be clear.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The current Git and therefore next release 1.34 will also work with webkit2gtk which is GTK-3.</p>
<p>if <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=17838115" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/RuinChristmas">@RuinChristmas</a> 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 <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=6333198" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/Skif-off">@Skif-off</a> did.</p>
<p>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 <code>build-deps</code> (never done it myself though).</p>
