Hi, I have.
About 3 years ago I did a project in Glade.
Then I upgraded to a new version of Glade.
-The old project would not load
-The property box did not work in the new version (program crashed on running it iirc)
So I rewrote the graphical components in the new version of Glade
-I had trouble with the autoconf things like you describe. The warnings
don't seem to be fatal, so I am ignoring them. In about a wee while,
the messages will be death.
-glade only integrates into a couple of languages.
Then I discovered QT, Kdevelop. -far better gui for designing widgets -stable and reliable. -migration from qt2 to qt3 was relatively painless -beautiful online help etc -kdevelop 3 integrates into lots of languages, with nice cvs support. -cross platform.
The cross platform one is seriously relevant, and too many programmers don't understand the importance.
It is helpful if you can have two different compilers check the syntax of
your code. If your program is multithreaded, and runs happily on different
OSs, there is a good chance you have eliminated most of the races.
Put it another way: an excellent use of MS is for testing linux software.
For my money, forget glade.
Derek.

Or what is the story here? I wanted to have a look at glade but things seem to be missing for a hello world app.

Just a guess, but I think you might be missing the 'gnome-common' package ("common scripts and macros to develop with GNOME or GNOME 2.0").
If that doesn't help, a couple of questions... - What version of glade are you using? - Does ordinary GNOME software compile smoothly on your box?
I am pretty impressed with Kdevelop and QT but don't like the fact that there are so many bugs in KDE software. I also have not been able to get kdev to play nice with MDK - it crashes regularly. I am not big on bugs for the sake of bugs, and find that the reliability (out of boxness) and documentation of gnome-related stuff to be much better. It is a pity it is so damn ugly, and KDE apps are much more user-friendly! I want to start developing and just wanted to have an investigation of both gui environments.
Cheers
Anton
