The README is the instructions for the source distribution tarball (which includes several things not in git), not for git builds. Its unfortunate that the README appears on the github front page. The documentation needs fixing, it is captured in #756 but nobody has done it yet. The crucial difference is that you need to generate the `configure` file using `./autogen.sh` the first time after a new clone. > Nevertheless, it possibly may not be a “widely needed feature”, but the > current solution is obviously a workaround.

Geany is open source software, all contributors are volunteers, so nobody can be "appointed" unless they do it themselves, and the fact that nothing has been done since the code was added says nobody is interested/needs it enough to appoint themselves. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/847#issuecomment-168434753
