gnome-common for Debian

-----------------------
4
The gnome-common Module
6
The gnome-common provides an easy way to use the GNOME autoconf macros in
7
applications which are developed outside of the GNOME CVS tree. Availability
9
There are a couple of things installed:
10
/usr/share/aclocal/gnome-macros
11
All macros from the macros/ directory are installed here.
12
/usr/share/aclocal/gnome2-macros
13
This are the new macros from GNOME 2.0.
14
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
15
A modified version of the autogen.sh from the macros/ directory.
17
If you previously had a macros/ directory in your package, you can now
18
remove it (when you have your package in the GNOME CVS tree, this is done in
19
the CVSROOT/modules file; to do this, look for a line starting with the name
20
of your module and remove the ¯os from it). autogen.sh
22
In the autogen.sh script of your package, you use the following:
23
gnome-config --bindir/gnome-autogen.sh
25
This calls the gnome-autogen.sh script which was installed by gnome-common.
27
If you were previously using the macros/ directory, then you should find a .
28
macros/autogen.sh line in your autogen.sh. Simply replace it with the new
31
You need to place GNOME_COMMON_INIT somewhere in your configure.in.
33
If you were previously using the macros/ directory, then you should find a
34
AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE(macros) line in your configure.in. Simply replace it with
35
GNOME_COMMON_INIT. Sample Usage
37
I made a modified gnome-hello module which uses gnome-common instead of the
38
macros/ directory which can be found here:

This section is only intended for "hackers".
49
You can also use the gnome-common module for GNOME 2.0 applications like
52
To do this, you need to put USE_GNOME_2_MACROS=1 .
53
gnome-config --bindir/gnome-autogen.sh into your autogen.sh and remove
54
the hack-macros/ directory.
