- The GTK+ makefiles will mostly work with different versions

- a few incompatibilities, so the GTK+ team recommends
- installing <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/make">GNU
- make</ulink> if you don't already have it on your system
- and using it. (It may be called <command>gmake</command>
- rather than <command>make</command>.)
+ The GLib Makefiles make use of several features specific to
