[Geany-Users] BuildingGeanyInstallFail

[Geoff Kaniuk]

Running the Autotools based build system  from the current online manual 
https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html (version 1.35), I 
successfully completed the configure task:
==============================================================
$ ./configure
$ make
==============================================================

However, the installation failed as it could not find ldconfig:
==============================================================
# make install
...
/bin/bash: line 3: ldconfig: command not found
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1660: fix-ubuntu-libdir] Error 127
...
==============================================================

The library libc-bin (2.28-10) provides the ldcommand:
==============================================================
~$ whereis ldconfig
ldconfig: /sbin/ldconfig /usr/share/man/man8/ldconfig.8.gz
~$
==============================================================

I have examined the configure output and .configure --help but ldconfig 
& libc-bin is not mentioned in either. If its of use, I have posted the 
Makefile and the script for make install:

Any help to resolve this much appreciated!
