Take the foo.glade file into an empty directory, run glade-- foo.glade 
and then type make.

If this doesn't work for you, simply report your problems (with output 
attached, please). Perhaps gtk-- or gnome-- ist not correctly installed 
(did you install the *-dev packages?)

I use it for my daily work, so I designed it to fulfill my needs and 
more. ;-)

simply switch to C++ in Language settings. The Code generation  button 
will call glade-- after that.
