Re: Gtk compiling woes

I generally use pkg-config for GTK compilation, to make it a bit
simpler to keep track of the stream of library dependencies. It
provides a little more future proofing, which has caught me out in the
past. The example I'm currently looking at uses gtk+-3.0 as the
package argument and four lines of Python code are sufficient to
incorporate it into setup.py (distutils), so that my custom C module
is correctly built (via swig).

This supplementary-module method seems to be the most straightforward
way to incorporate necessary bits of GTK functionality currently
missing through GObject introspection, but I would be interested in
other suggestions. Preferably ones that don't involve rebuilding
system packages :)
