[anjuta-list] Strange compiling behaviour

[John Coppens <john jcoppens com>]

Hi all.

I have an old project (gtk 2.xx), which I 'imported' into Anjuta. Never had any
problem till today. 

I had made a (tar.gz) package which I sent to remote PC and unpacked there.
./configure went fine - no problems at all. But when compiling, the first
file to be compiled threw 'cannot find gtk/gtk.h'. Strange because the gtk.h's
for 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0 are all installed and repond to pkg-config correctly.

Note that exactly the same package installed on my machine, and on another one.

Stranger yet, thanks to suggestions on IRC, I found that manually calling the
pkg-config command like it appears literally in the configure file, _did_ give
several missing packages, but ./configure didn't react.

./configure contains (why the strange quoting?):

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FARMA1, libgnomeui-2.0
[gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16 confmgr3])

The pkg-config (from configure) was:
pkg-config --cflags "libgnomeui-2.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16 confmgr3"

This failed manually, but didn't stop configure.
And didn't fail if called for each library separately.

automake, autoconf, are same versions on each machine.

Can anyone suggest where to look?
