Compiling programs with GNet

If you are a developer and you want to use GNet in your program, you can use the gnet-config script to figure out which flags need to set when compiling. For example, type gcc main.c `gnet-config --cflags --libs` to compile the program main.c with GNet and link it to GNet.

If you use autoconf and automake, you can use the gnet.m4 macros to set the appropriate variables. Just add this to your configure.in:

dnl Need GNet AM_PATH_GNET(<version number>, [LIBS="$LIBS $GNET_LIBS" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GNET_CFLAGS"], AC_MSG_ERROR(Cannot find GNet: Is gnet-config in path?))

Where <version number> is the version of GNet you're using (e.g. 1.0.4). You can get the version number by doing gnet-config --version.
