Now that I've built the plugin using ./autogen.sh successfully, why doesn't the plugin appear in my Geany plugin manager #1215

Is there something I still need to do to make the plugin usable in the Geany editor. The plugin GeanyLaTex is not listed by my plugin manager. There is some step I don't understand. Does it install only due to some inclusion into a project?

Any help appreciated as I have no idea how to install the plugin on fatdog Linux which does NOT have the apt install command nor sudo.

See "usage" in the README, you need to do make install to install. If your distro has no sudo and you are installing to a system directory then you need to run make install as superuser/root or whatever the distro calls it.

The README says the the autogen which in turn calls the configure does the install? Is this true?
Building with Autotools
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can use Autotools to build the Geany plugins in this repository.

Usage::

./configure [arguments] or alternatively ./autogen.sh [arguments]
make
sudo make install

autogen.sh will call configure in background and is only available if
you are using Geany plugins from git repository. It is not included in
release packages.

However, this will configure, build and install most of the Geany plugins.
There is some auto-detection in place which automagically disables
some of the plugins if there are insufficient build dependencies.
The following arguments can tweak the behaviour of the configure
script.

Ah ok, I need to call make install, sorry about that. Thank you.

Wow, they all appear now, except that they are alphabetized and mixed with the other plugins. But it worked!
