In my experience, it's usually a good idea to use autoscan to generate a first try at configure.ac (it will call it configure.scan, so rename it). Then write Makefile.am yourself -- it usually isn't too complex. Starting with an existing one and removing bits is a bad plan -- there'll be a lot of irrelevant stuff left, and you'll have no idea what anything does, so changes will be more difficult. To add GTK support, you should use AM_PATH_GTK -- you probably want something like this: AM_PATH_GTK([2.2], , AC_ERROR([GTK was not found])) or this (if you need gtkmm): AM_PATH_GTKMM([1.3.8], , AC_ERROR([GTKMM was not found])) The aclocal error is because you need to tell aclocal the path to gtk.m4 and/or gtkmm.m4. If gtk.m4 was in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal for instance, you'd need to run: aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal to avoid the error.
