geany-plugins (1.34.0) build fails on slackware 14.2

Hi
just want to notify you of an error I get while compiling the 1.34.0 package (previous versions worked just fine), on an up-to-date slackware 14.2.
This is the error I get:

.libs/workbench_la-wb_project.o: In function `wb_project_dir_remove_file':
wb_project.c:(.text+0xd57): undefined reference to `gp_filelist_filepath_matches_patterns'

I'm still using plugins 1.33.0 with geany 1.34.1, but I miss, for example, the spell checker.

Interesting. This upstream bug report looks like it might be related.

Out of curiosity, do you have the development/vala SlackBuild installed? If not, does installing it resolve the error? It's listed as an optional dependency, but I wonder if something changed upstream and now it's more mandatory than it was previously (or perhaps there's some check that's failing now)? EDIT: just reread the comments, and the lack of valac seemed to be unrelated to those errors.

I'm actually running into a different build issue with it (choking when compiling the geanypy plugin on this machine; probably some conflict with my hacked-together dumpster fire of a Python installation on this laptop...), so I'm unable to reproduce this at the moment (but will do so as soon as I've got a clean 14.2 chroot up and running).

So after disabling geanypy (by adding --disable-geanypy to the ./configure flags in the SlackBuild) it built fine for me, and I can confirm that spell checking is working after enabling the relevant plugin:

Of course, that doesn't rule out some other missing (and/or incorrectly deemed "optional" when it's actually mandatory) dependency, or some quirk specific to your machine (somehow).
