[Geany-Devel] Re: Problems with building geany plugins

Thank you, this was the missing piece for the configuration step. I also needed 
the libgit2-dev package to build the workbench plugin, but that seems to be 
specific to this one plugin. Would be nice if the dependencies were listed 
somewhere.

[Geany-Devel] Problems with building geany plugins

[fireclawthefox--- via Devel]

Hi everyone,

recently, I have tried to build the geany-plugins from the git repository on my 
Ubuntu 22.04 system. So, I installed autotools and the build essentials 
packages and tried to follow the instructions given in the readme.
it fails right at the beginning though with both the configure and autogen.sh 
calls.

./configure results in:
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing 
install-sh

./autogen.sh results in:
configure.ac:16: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
  If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
  See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing 
install-sh

it also states that I should run aclocal, but that doesn't seem to change 
anything
You should update your 'aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

I've put the full terminal output here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HnXXFmqjdk/

Am I missing something that I need to install or pass to those calls? The 
readme isn't that informative about what is required to actually build the 
plugins.

Hope someone can help me.

Best regards,
Fireclaw
