How is this different to pkg-config:
$ pkg-config --libs libglademm-2.0
-Wl,--export-dynamic -lglademm-2.0 -lgtkmm-2.0 -lglade-2.0 -lgdkmm-2.0
-latkmm-1.0 -lpangomm-1.0 -lglibmm-2.0 -lsigc-1.2 -lgtk-x11-2.0
-lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm
-lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0
-ldl -lglib-2.0
Whew! Yet in reality, -lglademm-2.0 would have sufficed...
