Thanks... I have another question. I am using the gtk library and to compile it properly with automake I have to do this: AM_LDFLAGS = -lcrypto -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0-lgdk_pixbuf- 2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0- lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 AM_CPPFLAGS = $(DEPS_CFLAGS) I want to be able to include this host of packages -lglib-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm - lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 - lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 which I got from by running pkg-config using the similiar approach with the AM_CPPFLAGS = $(DEPS_CFLAGS) I initialize DEPS in my configure.ac file, and I am not entirely sure what it does. Maybe you can shine some insight here also. Anyway, I have: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DEPS, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.2 glib-2.0 >= 2.2) I assume I can de DEPS_CFLAGS because of the above line in my configuration.ac file. Am I doing this correctly?
