Re: What does the file extension ".hg" mean?

Hi John,

Did you copy the source code from the git repository? If you do that, 
you need several tools to build glibmm, such as the autotools (autoconf, 
automake, etc), an m4 macro processor, mm-common, doxygen, and gmmproc. 
gmmproc is probably the least problematic for you. It's included in 
glibmm. And, yes, gtkmmproc is the same as gmmproc. I think it's an old 
name for gmmproc.

It's much easier to build glibmm, if you copy and expand a tarball from 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/glibmm/. Those tarballs contain 
all the generated .h and .cc files, as well as generated documentation 
and a few other generated files.
