Let me refine my request:

I am not having any problems geting the sources out of CVS and compiling
the packages.  GNOME is running beautifully on my system.  However, I
want MY application to use the same build process as in the packages in
CVS (gnome-core, gnome-util, etc.).

Right now, I have a GNOME application that I wrote and I'm using a custom
Makefile to compile it.  This is fine for my own purposes, but no good if
I want other people to compile it on their own machines.  The compile faq
(at lest the one that I read) does not cover how to set up a build
environment for a new source tree, so any help that can be offered would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
G.
