Hi Chow,
remembering that I'm AC_illiterate :) the problem seems to be that
plugins configure where they install based on where geany's pkg-config
says, ignoring what the --prefix option says.
The --prefix should override the standard location
Ah yes, there was that issue. My intention was for it to use Geany's prefix,
simply because there really isn't a point in stuffing plugins where you don't
have a Geany installation. e.g. Geany in /usr, but geany-plugins at /usr/local
would cause some confusion. Hence, what was done was:
1. autodetect Geany's ${pkglibdir} and install plugins in there.
Oh yes thats correct for system installed versions.
2. Allow manual specification of Geany's prefix by
--with-geany-prefix=/some/other/path
Ahhh, I'd never heard of the --with-geany-prefix option, that would be
why I didn't use it.
Come to think of it, I don't really remember why I wanted to use
--with-geany-prefix separately from --prefix. Perhaps --with-geany-prefix's
functionality should be shifted to --prefix instead. What do you think? That
should fix all your issues.
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.
Cheers
Lex

You can have a look what I do in gproject:
http://gitorious.org/gproject/mainline/blobs/master/configure.ac
http://gitorious.org/gproject/mainline/blobs/master/src/Makefile.am
I would say it's sufficient this way, or do you see some problem
there?
You also need to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${libdir}/geany prior to
PKG_CHECK_MODULES, so that you get the correct GEANY_CFLAGS and
GEANY_LIBS (otherwise it'll take the system-wide one for compiling).

Ah, I think I just misread this paragraph - there were really many strange things in the geanyprj configure.ac (e.g. make distcheck didn't work because of the hardcoded plugin directory) - that's why I modified it quite heavily and installing to arbitrary prefix should work (at least make distcheck, which tests this, works now).
