Re: [SOLVED] Re: builder gio::resource problem

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjellahlstedt gmail com>]

Like you've noticed, most of the examples  in the gtkmm tutorial don't 
contain makefiles. There's only one Makefile.am for building all of the 
examples, and that's an input file to automake, which generates a huge 
makefile.

The examples in the fairly new chapter 31 "Building applications", 
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/chapter-building-applications.html.en, 
contain makefiles, called Makefile.example. These files are not listed 
in the tutorial, it's just briefly mentioned that they exist. You have 
to go to the source code, e.g. 
https://git.gnome.org//browse/gtkmm-documentation/tree/examples/book/buildapp/step2?h=gtkmm-3-22 
to see them.
