[gnome-love] Can anyone guide me on compiling from CVS



Basically I'm looking at becoming more involved with Gnome so having
compiled everything from tar balls so far I decided to pull from CVS.

So I have a cvs copy of gnome-pilot for example how do I compile this
thing, or rather more to the point how do I get a configure script to be
built.
I'm not that used to aclocal, automake, autogen etc and just can't seem
to make
headway. Most of the docs I've seen say to run ./autogen.sh however I
get
this when I do

poopsalot > ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.
processing .
deletefiles is  macros/gnome-gettext.m4
Creating ./aclocal.m4 ...
Running gettextize...  Ignore non-fatal messages.
You should update your own `aclocal.m4' by adding the necessary
macro packages gettext.m4, lcmessage.m4 and progtest.m4 from
the directory `/aclocal'
Making ./aclocal.m4 writable ...
Running libtoolize...
You should add the contents of `/extras/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.
Running aclocal  -I macros ...
aclocal: configure.in: 86: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 102: macro `AM_PATH_LIBGLADE' not found in
library
**Error**: aclocal failed. This may mean that you have not
installed all of the packages you need, or you may need to
set ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include "-I $prefix/share/aclocal"
for the prefix where you installed the packages whose
macros were not found


I've tried setting ACLOCAL_FLAGS to
1)  nothing
2)  -I /opt/gnome-14j3/share/aclocal
3) -I /opt/gnome-14j3/share/aclocal -I /extras/share/aclocal

If I set it to nothing I get the above if I set to 2 or 3 I get a bunch
of duplicate entries and
a failure in aclocal again.

If someone could point me at a tutorial whatever or just give some
guideance I would
much appreciate it...

Thanks
Jon
