typical recursive makefile setup:
--- Makefile.am ---
SUBDIRS = src pixmaps conf
bonoboserverdir = $(libdir)/bonobo/servers
dist_bonoboserver_DATA = .server
--- src/Makefile.am ---
mylibexec_PROGRAMS = myapplet
myapplet_SOURCES = myapplet.c
mylibexecdir = $(libdir)/gnome-applets
--- pixmaps/Makefile.am ---
pkgdata_DATA = pixmap1 pixmap2 ...
--- conf/Makefile.am ---
# This a bit of a problem. You should not arbitrarily install
# files outside of $(prefix), that brings a lot of problems with
# it. Thus, install the conf file in an easily findable place
# ($prefix/etc/myapplet) and let your applet (or the install code)
# recommend to your users to put it in ~/.myapplet.
pkgsysconfdir = $(sysconfdir)/myapplet
dist_pkgsysconf_DATA = myapplet.conf
--- configure.ac
AC_INIT([myapplet], [1.0], [bugreport-address])
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
AC_PROG_CC
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile.am src/Makefile.am pixmaps/Makefile.am
conf/Makefile.am])
AC_OUTPUT
---
Then run
autoreconf -vif
I'm sure there is lots of stuff still missing, like needed libraries and
header checks and whatnot. But this should get you started.
Cheers,
Ralf
