OK Alfred, you were right on the MONEY
So just to make this complete so that someone else can find this in the
future I want to cut and paste this conversation on irc

mrbrklyn hello
mrbrklyn anyone have expereince with autoconf mrbrklyn and automake
descender that's off-topic, but yeah I have mrbrklyn well I'm trying to
use it with gtkmm according to the docs on that sight
mrbrklyn and I can't get it to work, to find the gtk library
mrbrklyn I'm missing something obvious and I don't know what it is
mrbrklyn http://www.nylxs.com/messages.html?id=538339&archive=2008-10-01
descender mrbrklyn, trying running pkg-config --modversion gtkmm-2.4 to
see if you have trouble with pkgconfig
descender oh n/m, you've gone past that stage
mrbrklyn pkg-config --modversion gtkmm-2.4 mrbrklyn 2.4.11
descender mrbrklyn, try adding two Automake targets:
descender onewindow_CXXFLAGS = $(MYAPP_CFLAGS)
descender onewindow_LDADD = $(MYAPP_LIBS) descender then rerun autotools
descender .. variables I mean
mrbrklyn add it to configure.ac?
mrbrklyn or Makefile.am
mrbrklyn ?
descender mrbrklyn, the Makefile.am that resides alongside your C++ source
files
descender that one with bin_PROGRAMS = onewindow
mrbrklyn Ok - BRB
mrbrklyn descender - that did it.
descender ok
mrbrklyn Now my question is why?
descender AFAICT, it has to do with your autoconf language settings
mrbrklyn I'm going to need to do that for every external lib?
descender PKG_CHECK_MODULES added the flags to CFLAGS but not CXXFLAGS
descender CFLAGS isn't used to compile C++ programs=
descender so the compiler flags were missing descender
mrbrklyn, I add each lib manually
mrbrklyn what does that mean?
descender which?
mrbrklyn to do it manually
descender like this:
descender onewindow_CXXFLAGS = $(LIB1_CFLAGS) $(LIB2_CFLAGS)
$(LIB3_CFLAGS) ..
descender onewindow_LDADD = $(LIB1_LIBS) $(LIB2_LIBS) $(LIB3_LIBS) ..
descender I think it's possible to get PKG_CHECK_MODULES to add the
detected flags to CXXFLAGS by setting the language to C++ with
AC_LANG([CXX])
mrbrklyn thanks
descender I'm wrong, PKG_CHECK_MODULES never modifies CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS,
so you always have to add the variables manually as in the example I gave
you
descender I gotta go to bed
_______________________________________
The finished example for the autotool files look like this
configure.ac on the top level
AC_INIT(src/onewindow.cc)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(onewindow_cc,0.1)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GTKMM], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.4.0])
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile)
_________________________________________________
Top Level Makefile.am
SUBDIRS = src
EXTRA_DIST=autogen.sh
______________________________________
/src level Makefile.am
AC_INIT(src/onewindow.cc)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(onewindow_cc,0.1)
AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_CXX
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GTKMM], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.4.0])
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile src/Makefile)
