make does not work within the directories of examples

[Ulrich Rueger <mail papmobil de>]

Hello,

I am interested to program a GUI for the prototype of a machine I 
develop as an inventor. I have programmed the control routines already 
in C++ using g++ for compiling. Now I am about to have a look on gtkmm 
in order to figure out if it is easy to use programming the GUI.

As recommended in the tutorial "Programming with gtkmm" in "chapter 
3-Basics/Headers and Linking" I looked for the directory of an example I 
am interested in (for example radiobuttons) and typed "make".

But make tells me that the steering file (translation form the 
error-message in German "Keine Targets angegeben und keine 
>>make<<-Steuerdatei gefunden.") is missing. So I assume that the 
problem is that there is no makefile in this directory.

I tried several hours with automake/autoconf and had a insight look on 
the recommended link "Openismus has more basic help with automake and 
autoconf" at the bottom of the chapter. But I could not achieve a 
working makefile.

I also checked the FAQ supplied with the package.

Please could you supply an easy recipe in order to get started better 
with your examples on the basis of automake and autoconf?

Perhaps you could also include it in your tutorial, which is in other 
aspects very easy to understand.

Thanks

Ulrich
