I'm not aware of any predefined meaning of MYAPP in autotools.

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([MYAPP], [gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.4.0]) checks which flags are
needed by gtkmm-2.4 and makes the MYAPP_CFLAGS and MYAPP_LIBS available
in your Makefile.

onewindow_CFLAGS contains CFLAGS for compiling onewindow.

What you did is to provide CFLAGS required for gtkmm-2.4 at the
configuration time. This works as long as you don't want to have any
other compiler flags for onewindow.

What I've suggested is to get the gtkmm-2.4 flags into MYAPP_CFLAGS and
reference it in either AM_CFLAGS or onewindow_CFLAGS. Reading your last
posting, I didn't realize your workaround worked for you.

With kind regards,
