Yes, this was my bad. Sorry. While writing the answer I used
packages.ubuntu.com to find the package which contains "msgfmt" but by
accident I searched for gettext instead of msgfmt.
So again, do
sudo apt-get install gettext
and then again
./configure
in the directory with the Geany sources and it should work.
Thanks Nick.
