As you have your Geany in /usr/local/bin, I would wager that you have
leftover files from a previous installation, e.g.
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/geany.pc, and that the check finds this one.
You should try removing all possible leftovers of a previous
installation, and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, e.g.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" ./autogen.sh
