<p>
If you are a developer and you want to use GNet in your
program, you can use the pkg-config script to figure out
which flags need to set when compiling. For example, type
<strong class="userinput"><code>gcc main.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gnet-2.0`</code></strong>
to compile the program main.c with GNet and link it to GNet. Note that
those are backticks, not apostrophes.
</p>
<p>
If you use autoconf and automake, you can the pkg-config
macros to set the appropriate variables. Just add this to
your configure.in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GNET, gnet-2.0 > 2.0.0,
[LIBS="$LIBS $GNET_LIBS" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GNET_CFLAGS"],
AC_MSG_ERROR(Cannot find GNet: do you have the GNet development packages installed?))
</pre>
