Re: How is the gnome-common package used?

[John R Sheets <dusk smsi-roman com>]

So, is this a complete list of the files you have to create/edit?

autogen.sh
configure.in
Makefile.am (one for each compilable directory)

I assume that the Makefile.am for your main directory is
significantly different from the Makefile.am you use for
subdirectories...?

This would be quite a juicy little FAQ topic, hint hint hint.
