[Pkg-mono-devel] Using autotools to compile CLI apps

[C.J. Adams-Collier]

Hey there David,

Very much on topic.  Not a lot of time right now to step you through
it, but I can tell you to look at gtkglarea-sharp as an example.  The
primary library built uses some weird stuff, but if you take a look at
configure.ac and examples/Makefile.am and friends, you should be able
to get something useful out of it.

http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/configure.ac
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/examples/Include.am
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/examples/pick-object/Makefile.am
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/

Dylan might have more to say, since his autofoo is better than mine :)

Cheers,

C.J.
