#7 VPython changes for GNOME 2 on Linux, 1/2
This patch modifies Visual Python to detect and build
with the GNOME 2 libraries rather than GNOME 1.X.
Apologies in advance for the lengthy explanations if
you already understand how autoconf works.
The patch modifies configure.ac, Makefile.in, and
src/Makefile.in
I suggest 3.2.10 as the new version number. Whatever
you choose, cd into the top level visual directory and
patch -p1 < the-attached-patch-file
This doesn't change the configure script itself. To
complete the process:
cp /usr/share/aclocal/glib-2.0.m4 .
cp /usr/share/aclocal/gtk-2.0.m4 .
# Tested on Fedora Core 3, I can't think why anybody
# would change the location for aclocal but YMMV
aclocal
autoconf
Running the new configure script should now print out
something like "testing for GNOME 2 ..."

26 April: ignore the stuff about copying glib-2.0.m4 and
gtk-2.0.m4 from /usr/share/aclocal. It will work without it.
