Shouldn't there be a X_CPPFLAGS for this?  and, presumably, a X_LDFLAGS to
hold the matching '-L /path/to/X11/lib'.  I have several test libraries
installed underneath my home directory and often need to type:

	make CPPFLAGS=$HOME/include LDFLAGS=$HOME/lib
	
...sometimes it works, sometimes not.  I'm not sure offhand whether automake
creates Makefile(.in)s which do the right thing here or whether the
maintainer needs to support it explicitly with their build.  I would like to
see it work this way under gnome regardless.

Likewise.  I may have time tonight.

It seems to be where autoconf puts *required* CFLAGS to be added to automake's
$COMPILE macro, so that if I type "make CFLAGS='-mpentium -O6'" I only
clobber the default '-g -O' switches (automake puts this in CFLAGS), but not
the '-fPIC' (which is in X_CFLAGS).

I did have:

  $ cat /usr/local/stow/gnome-lib-980213/lib/gnomeConf.sh
  #
  # Configuration of the gnome-libs package
  #

  GNOME_LIBS="-lgnome  "
  GNOMEUI_LIBS="-lgnomeui -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM -lICE -lX11  -lXext -lSM -lICE -lgnome "
  GTKXMHTML_LIBS="-lgtkxmhtml -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm -lXpm -ljpeg -lpng -lz  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM -lICE -lX11  -lXext -lSM -lICE"


  GNOME_LIBDIR="-L/usr/local/stow/gnome-libs-980213/lib"
  GNOME_INCLUDEDIR="-I/usr/local/stow/gnome-libs-980213/include"


Just to be certain, from a clean directory, I have just reimported and
rebuilt gtk+ and gnome-libs, at which point I have:

  $ cat /usr/local/stow/gnome-libs-980216/lib/gnomeConf.sh
  #
  # Configuration of the gnome-libs package
  #

  GNOME_LIBDIR=-L/usr/local/lib
  GNOME_INCLUDEDIR=-I/usr/local/include
  GNOME_LIBS="-lgnome -ldl"
  GNOMEUI_LIBS="-lgnomeui -lgnome -ldl -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM -lICE -lX11  -lXext"
  GTKXMHTML_LIBS="-lgtkxmhtml -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm -lXpm     -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM -lICE -lX11  -lXext"

Whatever was wrong is now fixed for me at least.  However, the final link
for each app' includes several libraries twice...

LD_RUN_PATH="$LD_RUN_PATH" gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -o \
.libs/gnome-hello-1-menus gnome-hello-1-menus.o -Wl,--rpath \
-Wl,/usr/local/lib ../libgnomeui/.libs/libgnomeui.so -ldl -lgtk -lgdk -lglib \
-lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lm -Wl,--rpath \
-Wl,/usr/local/lib ../libgnome/.libs/libgnome.so -lglib -lm -ldl -lm \
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib ../gtk-xmhtml/.libs/libgtkxmhtml.so -lgtk \
-lgdk -lglib -lm -lXpm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lm \
../support/libsupport.a -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lm -lXpm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM \
-lICE -lX11 -lXext -ldl -lm 

gcc is kind enough to tolerate this, but I expect most prroprietry compilers
will choke on it.

Thats okay, it was the gtk+ hack to expose gtk_signal_handlers_get (I think)
so that xmhtml would link -- but this has since been fixed correctly in
gtk-xmhtml.

Cheers,
