(Just a quick note) Makefile.am is an automake file. From briefly glancing at it, it appears to reference git.mk in the root of the gtk+ repo. So perhaps the example applications aren't meant to be built separately, and there's some way to build them all together. Also, usually Makefile.am files are accompanied by configure.ac files and autogen.sh files (in which case you'd run ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make; make install) On 12/18/2013 11:29 AM, Ian Davidson wrote: > I am trying to learn GTK and I have copied all the files from > https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/examples/application1 > to my local drive.
