I don't think geany-plugins has any include files does it? Or are you talking about geany? Either way, geany-plugins installs its own files into the prefix given by --prefix, but installs the actual plugins into the Geany plugins directory (Geany's prefix/lib) given by pkg-config. The reason this is done is because Geany wouldn't be able to find the plugin to load otherwise.

How about a --with-geany-pluginsdir=PATH argument instead? I think --prefix serves a rather different purpose. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
