I won't just compile the gnome stuff in it cause I don't think my little
program should depend on the *whole* gnome to work =) it doesn't need it
but I think a gnome applet is good stuff to help if you have gnome already =)
I just couldn't "parse" what you meant with "so that every architecture
will have a similar package"... I'll surely build-depend in gnome
but I'll compile the program in 2 packages, one with gnome enabled and
other with gnome disabled

something like AC_CHECK_PROG(TEST_GNOME, gnome-config, yes, no)?
there's one already but how do I check for it in Makefile.am?

I did a not-so-beatiful hack using AC_SUBST but I would still like to
know how to do it the Right Way (tm)
And I'm still wishing to know how to put in a new gnome applet =)
I have one more question... I set up new commands for distclean: and
clean: rules in my Makefile.am like this:
distclean:
rm -f `find . -name \*~`
rm -f po/*.gmo
clean:
rm -f `find . -name \*~`
rm -f po/*.gmo
but whenever I run make distclean/clean, I keep receiving messages like
this:
Makefile:453: warning: overriding commands for target `distclean'
Makefile:426: warning: ignoring old commands for target `distclean'
I did this change to avoid po/*.gmo being in the tar.gz when debianizing
it cause they're binary and they're modified so dpkg-source complains...
any clue about that?
[]s!
