I don't know if this will help, but this is the Makefile
I use to compile gmenu (gnome-core/gmenu) from outside
the GNOME source tree.

config.h is created to get around the i18n / config.h automake
provides in gnome-core. You most likely don't need it.

This is an old script I wrote before gnome-config was
created, but I still use it since it still works. I am
sure it can be cleaned up a bit by using gnome-config.

========== start of Makefile ============
#set PREFIX to gnome's location:
PREFIX = /usr
# i18n does not like this, but:
PACKAGE = gnome-core

include $(PREFIX)/lib/gnomeConf.sh

#Parse out those nasty quotes.

GTK_INCLUDE = `gtk-config --cflags`
GTK_LIB = `gtk-config --libs`
CFLAGS = $(GTK_INCLUDE) $(GNOME_INCLUDEDIR_PARSED) -I.
LDFLAGS = $(GTK_LIB) $(GNOMEUI_LIBS_PARSED)
CC = gcc -g -Wall $(CFLAGS)
CCPLUS = c++ -Wall

OBJS = gmenu.o tree.o edit.o order.o dialogs.o

gmenu: $(OBJS)
	$(CCPLUS) $(OBJS) -o gmenu $(LDFLAGS)

	install -c gmenu.desktop $(PREFIX)/share/apps/System/gmenu.desktop
	install -c gnome-gmenu.png $(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps/gnome-gmenu.png

uninstall:
	rm -f $(PREFIX)/bin/gmenu
	rm -f $(PREFIX)/share/apps/System/gmenu.desktop
	rm -f $(PREFIX)/share/pixmaps/gnome-gmenu.png

clean:
	rm -f *.o *~ gmenu core
