How to setup autotools for glib-compile-resources?

How would I setup my Makefile.am file to run glib-compile-resources to compile resources.

This is how my Makefile.am currently looks like:


INTLTOOL_FILES = intltool-extract.in \
                 intltool-merge.in \
                 intltool-update.in

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

SUBDIRS = src data po gnome pixmaps dicfiles

EXTRA_DIST = COPYING rpm/gjiten.spec scripts/make_debs scripts/make_release\
         intltool-extract.in intltool-merge.in intltool-update.in


DISTCLEANFILES = ${INTLTOOL_FILES} \
                 po/.intltool-merge-cache

MAINTAINERCLEANFILES += configure config.sub config.guess aclocal.m4 compile \
      depcomp install-sh \
      ${DISTCLEANFILES} intltool-extract intltool-merge intltool-update.in \
        ltmain.sh missing mkinstalldirs config.h.in po/*stamp* *stamp*

Or do I have to setup the commands within autogen.h or configure.ac ?

Solution

How would I setup my Makefile.am file to run glib-compile-resources to compile resources.

There are lots of ways, but the one I would recommend to you is to add an all-local target. For example:

all-local:
        glib-compile-resources

You would also want to be sure to provide for cleaning the generated files, which might be accomplished either by adding them to CLEANFILES or by adding a clean-local target with an appropriate recipe.
