Re: Writing my own Make file

["Fernando Tarín" <lists im gmail com>]

I suggest you to use all provided gnutools. You can use some configure macros to get the work done and use a generic makefile. You need the next macros:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKMM2, [gtkmm-2.4]) 
This one will check that gtkmm is installed in your system

AC_SUBST(GTKMM2_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(GTKMM2_LIBS)
With these macros you can get the libs and the flags you need to compile the files.

This is a short and incomplete example, You can use anjuta to get some templates of the files.

Jamiil,

gtkmm-config is old.  Really old.

You'll want to use pkg-config which is fairly similar

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -ansi `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4`
LIBS=`pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4`

Alternatively I think you can do:

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -ansi $(pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4)

To have make substitute the command instead of passing the backtick
_expression_ to the shell.

And on a side note I'll evangelize SCons which I prefer over make.

HTH,
Paul Davis
