This happens because you defined specific flags for the program or library.

I believe automake uses "if gcc" if configure detects it. You should see that Makefile.in contains both alternatives; configure then comments out one of them. > [...] it still fails with undefined reference to gtk2.

Or you could try to look at some Gnome projects, how they link against gtk++. Try to ask on #gtk++ at irc.gnome.org for an example project. (They sometimes have a "bad style" in autotools, but they have it working. You get the best blend by applyiing the hints you have got from Ralf.) Hope this helps, Stepan Kasal
