All,
When I try to build the latest geany (version 1.29) from source I get the
following configure error:
checking for GTK... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24 glib-2.0 >= 2.32
gio-2.0 >= 2.32 gmodule-no-export-2.0) were not met:
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.32' but version of GLib is 2.28.8
Requested 'gio-2.0 >= 2.32' but version of GIO is 2.28.8
Is it possible to get past these constraints besides installing the latest
glib libraries? I'm currently using version 1.27 and I was able to build
from source flawlessly. I feel bad that I'm not using the bleeding edge
geany version anymore. Geany is my favorite text editor and I like to get
the new goodies from each new release!
You could change `2.32` here and the next line to `2.28.8` and then fix
what breaks. I think it's not a lot that requires `2.32` [0].

Would it be possible to relax these constraints in future possibly?
I think it would be a valid Issue[1] to request re-synchronizing the
GTK+ and GLib version numbers. If we only check for GTK+ `2.24.0` then
we should probably only require GLib `2.27.3` like GTK+ itself (debatable).
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/configure.in?h=2.24.0#n34
Most likely a clean patch/pull request to resolve the mismatch would be
accepted.
