You'd use the ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND argument of the AM_PATH_GTK_2_0 macro to set a few things. > A) Is it possible to get automake to just NOT COMPILE the gtk related > *.c files based on the autoconf results? Yes, for example, you'd use an Automake conditional (AM_CONDITIONAL), say, WANT_GTK, and then in Makefile.am you write foo_SOURCES = ... if WANT_GTK foo_SOURCES += gtk_source1.c ... bin_PROGRAMS += bar bar_SOURCES = ... endif > B) Do I take the gtk related *.c files and wrap them in big "#ifdef > USE_GTK / #endif" wrappers? That can be a choice too. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
