[glade--]Re: glade-- and gtkmm-1.3

[Petr Ferschmann <petr ferschmann cz>]

Hello

I downloaded glademm from cvs but it doesn't detect gtkmm-1.3. What I am 
doing bad? Some where I read something about checkouting another release in 
cvs (using -r parameter). Is it true?

ad 2) I am using this for configuring with gtkmm-1.3
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKMM, gtkmm-2.0 >= 1.3.0)
AC_SUBST(GTKMM_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(GTKMM_LIBS)

ad 1) How much differs glade and glade-2 in file format? 

I think I can make 2) and some widgets.
