330	cdrdao-1.1.7 installation instructions are incomplete	lucius1@…	blfs-book@…	"If you try to build the GUI interface according to the existing instructions, 
./configure complains that gtkmm and gnomemm are missing.  Inspection of the 
INSTALL file provided with cdrdao-1.1.7 reveals that building the GUI
interface (not the base install) requires not only GTK+ (version 1.2.8
recommended) and gnome-libs (version 1.4.2 recommended) as indicated in the
BLFS web page for cdrdao-1.1.7 (except that the BLFS web page recommends GTK+
version 1.2.10), but it also requires gtkmm (version 1.2.9 recommended) and
gnomemm (version 1.2.2 recommended).  It warns that using earlier or later
versions may cause compilation failure, but I got it to compile its GUI
interface (WARNING:  haven't had a chance to test yet) using GTK+ version
1.2.10 (as indicated on the BLFS web page), gnome-libs version 1.4.2 (as
indicated on the BLFS web page), gtkmm version 1.2.10 (has bug fix to let it
compile under gcc 3.x), and gnomemm version 1.2.4 (has bug fix to let it
compile under gcc 3.x).  Furthermore, gnomemm requires gtkmm, and both of these
require libsigc++ (version 1.0.4 EXACTLY -- no earlier or later).  Also, to get
gnomemm to compile, you have to set an environment before running ./configure:
GTKMM_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/gtkmm-config (otherwise, it fails to find the
required script gtkmm-config even if it is in your path and even with gtkmm
in a place registered in /etc/ld.so.conf).  Finally, at least in the case of
gnomemm, if you run ./configure with the wrong environment, the build
configuration is permanently set wrong (running ./configure again will not fix
it -- you have to delete the gnomemm source directory and re-extract it from
the tarball).

Note:  If you need a later version of libsigc++ for some other purpose,
libsigc++ version 1.04 (not earlier versions) can co-exist with later versions.
