Thank you. I started playing around with compiling geany and geany plugins from the git source but after some false starts I realized that several of the plugins did not build on my Rocky Linux 9 system, presumably to dependencies missing. I was too lazy to figure out all of the dependencies needed so I deleted the version of geany and geany-plugins from git I just compiled, reinstalled both geany and geany-plugins from the repository so I am back where I started.
Tomorrow I will look at writing this "separate" new plugin based on the HelloWorld sample and go from there without touching the editor and already-installed plugins. However, a couple of things I need to be sure on before proceeding: - I need the <geanyplugin.h> header file. Am I correct in that I need to clone the github geany-plugin git repository to have access to that? And I need to have the geany source code from github to have access to geany.pc? - I saw that the source code on github is the yet-to-be-released version 2.1 of geany, I have to assume that when I clone the source from github for my own plugin I need to make sure it is the 2.0 tag, not the very latest source, correct? - When I compiled geany and then geany-plugins from github I could not get the ./configure step to work correctly, specifically pkg-config kept complaining it could not find geany.pc and I had double- , and triple-checked, that I had added the correct directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH but no go. After many tries I was able to run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-geany-libdir=/usr/local/lib, a reference to which I found on the internet. The README file for geany-plugins further suggest I could use --with-geany-prefix=... but that option was not recognized. Could this be an error in the README file? - After reinstalling geany and geany-plugins from my OS repository I was back where I started and tried to run gcc -c HelloWorld.c -fPIC `pkg-config --cflags geany` from the directory where I had saved the HelloWorld.c sample. That failed due to pkg-config, presumably not finding geany.pc again and now I am giving up for today. Pointers around any other gotchas appreciated!
