[glade--]Re: [gtkmm] (no subject)

Hi Silviu,

Please use the glademm mailing list and not the gtkmm list (it's off 
topic there) [CCed for a last time]

Sorry, I have been busy at the moment (holiday preparations for next 
week) and it took me some time to answer.

"which" prints errors on some installations (it doesn't on mine) and the 
purpose of it is to find the correctly named make/autoconf/automake 
binary. I simply did not get to add an 2>/dev/null to it.

Unfortunately the name of auto* varies a lot between different 
distributions (and I have only debian to test)

I never saw this one ... are you sure that your installation is allright?

please try on a different machine if possible (I never saw problems like 
these). If you can modify autogen.sh to work on your machine I would of 
course be interested in the modifications.

Perhaps autoreconf is the way to go (instead of autogen.sh). Sadly I 
never found a good documentation for it.
