Re: need help trying to figure out how to write gtk hello world configure.in

[Matt Hull]

i am testing on an older system that doesnt have pkg-config.  is there
another way to test the presence of gtk, then if it is there find the
version(s) ?

i tried

AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.8,,AC_MSG_ERROR(mypkgname 0.1 needs GTK))

but that fails

i alse tried

#pkg_modules="gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0"
#PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKCONFIG, [$pkg_modules])

that fails

thanks

matt
