[Glade-users] Building Your Own Catalog

[gordonguthrie at backawinner.gg (Gordon Guthrie)]

Folks

Still struggling with the Makefile system...

I am trying to compile my own library for a catalog.

It would seem that I need to add an entry to the file Makefile.am in
glade3-3.0.1/src, so far so good...

*******************Makefile.am Extract Starts********************

# The GTK catalog backend
gladegtk_LTLIBRARIES = libgladegtk.la
gladegtkdir = $(glade_modulesdir)


libgladegtk_la_CFLAGS =    \
        -g -Wall           \
        -I$(top_srcdir)    \
        -I$(top_builddir)  \
        $(GTK_CFLAGS)

libgladegtk_la_SOURCES     = glade-gtk.c
libgladegtk_la_LDFLAGS     = -module -avoid-version
libgladegtk_la_LIBADD      = libgladeui-1.la $(GTK_LIBS)
libgladegtkincludedir      = $(includedir)/libgladeui-1.0/libgladeui
libgladegtkinclude_HEADERS = glade-gtk.h

# The new Flexer catalog backend
gladeflexer_LTLIBRARIES = libgladeflexer.la
gladeflexerdir = $(glade_modulesdir)


libgladeflexer_la_CFLAGS =    \
        -g -Wall           \
        -I$(top_srcdir)    \
        -I$(top_builddir)  \
        $(GTK_CFLAGS)

libgladeflexer_la_SOURCES     = glade-gtk.c
libgladeflexer_la_LDFLAGS     = -module -avoid-version
libgladeflexer_la_LIBADD      = libgladeui-1.la $(GTK_LIBS)
libgladeflexerincludedir      = $(includedir)/libgladeui-1.0/libgladeui
libgladeflexerinclude_HEADERS = glade-gtk.h

*******************Makefile.am Extract Ends**********************

Now I need to generate the Makefile.in from that using automake which
I invoke from glade3-3.0.1

It gives a wheen of warnings, but I'm not sure if they are important or not:

******************Automake Warnings Start************************

******************Automake Warnings Ends************************

and then ./configure which seems OK.

A quick grep indicates that the source code and the output library have
been taken up into the make system, but then when I try and run make...

******************Make Errors Start*****************************

/bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: `if test ! -f )].in; then \'
make: *** [)].in] Error 2

******************Make Errors Ends******************************

The problem I have is that I'm not sure that this is the right way to go
about getting the library compiled in the first place. Am I just chasing a
red herring? Is this the right way to go about it and I just need to bash
through more errors?

TIA
