Oh yes thats correct for system installed versions. > 2.

Yes I think that would do it, thanks, I guess I am expecting that if I configured a version of Geany with --prefix then plugins configured the same would link with the ABI and install in the directories of the Geany with the same --prefix. For testing a plugin like Jiri's which needs a modified version of Geany to run, it needs to use the version of Geany with the patches in it, not the system install.
