I'm actually working with Anjuta. Anjuta is Makefile-based. The problem is that if I change something I need to do a 'git pull', which overwrites the "pkg-config --includedir gtk+2" to be "pkg-config --includedir gtk+3". So I'm thinking to just create an environment variable - something like "USE_GTK3", export it on the machine set for GTK3, then fix the Makefile.in for my project. Then this will be kept independently of which version I have installed on the system. Or is there a better and simpler alternative? Maybe pkg-config has something like "set the current GTK+ version to be GTK+3"?
