GTK, autoconf and FreeBSD

[Philip Kendall <pak21 srcf ucam org>]

Hi.

First of all, apologies if this has already been answered. I have attempted
to RTFFAQ and RTF list archives, but couldn't find anything relevant.

On FreeBSD, the gtk-config script is renamed to gtk<version>-config, and
the following change is made to gtk.m4 so that the autoconf macros work:

colon:pak21:~$ cat /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk12/files/patch-gtk.m4 
--- gtk.m4.orig Fri Feb  9 22:56:43 2001
+++ gtk.m4      Fri Feb  9 22:57:20 2001

   min_gtk_version=ifelse([$1], ,0.99.7,$1)
   AC_MSG_CHECKING(for GTK - version >= $min_gtk_version)
   no_gtk=""

Whilst this works OK for on a FreeBSD box, when I try taking a tarball
of my automake/autoconf'd program[1] from the FreeBSD box to a Linux box
(Debian unstable, running GTK 1.2.10), it then flunks, because it's not
finding gtk-config (due to the new AC_PATH_PROG call setting PATH to
`no', I think).

Has anyone else tried doing this and got it to work, or is it just that
the FreeBSD patch is broken?

Thanks in advance for any help,
