[Glade-users] Using gtkglext

[dk7g at yahoo.com.au (Derek Law)]

Hi Dan,

I was using Glade-2 so I don't know if it's going to
any different in Glade-3. Neither do I know if I'm
doing all the things right but at least it worked for
me.  It's just on top of adding the files to
Makefile.am in the src directory (in Glade-2 this is
where the files are stored, on top of the autotools
files and other stuff), I'd add the following in
configure.in

pkg_modules="libglade-2.0 >= 2.5.1"
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBGLADE, [$pkg_modules])
AC_SUBST(LIBGLADE_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(LIBGLADE_LIBS)

pkg_modules="gtkglext-1.0 >= 1.0.6"
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKGL, [$pkg_modules])
AC_SUBST(GTKGL_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(GTKGL_LIBS)

for libraries with the .pc files and

OTHERLIB_CFLAGS="-I/path/to/lib/include"
OTHERLIB_LIBS="-L/path/to/lib/lib -lthelibname"

for those without

and add these two lines just before AC_OUTPUT line at
the bottom

CPPFLAGS="-DSOMEDEF $CPPFLAGS  $LIBGLADE_CFLAGS
$GTKGL_CFLAGS $OTHERLIB_CFLAGS"
LIBS="$LIBS $LIBGLADE_LIBS $GTKGL_LIBS $OTHERLIB_LIBS"

AC_OUTPUT([
....
