 KA)  Thanks but I already have Gtk+ working as the Gtk+ documentation
 KA)  has a very nice description of what to do.  What I need to be
 KA)  able to do is to get my program to compile with Gnome support.

Make sure you have GNOME CVS (anon is fine) access setup to get the
macros.  Then:

sh <sharfile below>
cd t
cvs checkout macros

Then you should be able to autogen.sh and build, etc with
automake/autoconf and stuff. Hopefully this should give you what I
think you are looking for; a minimal GNOME app compilation tree using
automake and autoconf without any code.

You can then do a ``make dist'' to create a tar.gz file, once you add
stuff like AUTHORS, ChangeLog, etc.  Someone downloading the tar file
won't need to have the macros, as they will already be included after
you autogen.sh.
