When you clone Geany-Plugins repository you get `autogen.sh` in the top level 
directory which generates `configure` which generates `makefile`s, thats how 
autotools works.

I don't think you understood, the Windows plugin binaries are on the download 
page I linked.  

And as I said, for Linux every distribution is _different_, they put files in 
different locations, they use different packaging tools, they use different 
compiler versions and library versions, some don't even use binaries at all, so 
the Geany project can't provide pre-compiled binaries for "Linux", its just not 
like windows.

But the distributions provide binaries configured for their system as part of 
their distribution.  So I still don't understand why you say a user needs to 
compile any of the plugins collection, they get the plugins they want from 
their distribution.  

On this particular distribution I am using here I just open the software 
manager select the programming group and presto!! Geany is the top of the list, 
click to install, then scroll down a bit and Geany Plugins collection is 
available as one item, click to install, done!!
