[Glade-users] practical question: apps locating glade file

um... how about this (a `make check` should work in both $srcdir and 
$srcdir/src):

/* main.c */
gchar *gladedir = GLADEDIR;

#ifdef HAVE_LIBPOPT
static struct poptOption options[] = {
     ......
     ......
	{ "gladedir", '\0', POPT_ARG_STRING, &gladedir, 0,
	  N_("the directory where glade xml files are placed."), NULL },
     ......
     ......
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
     gchar *filename;

     filename = g_build_filename (gladedir, "galeon.glade", NULL);
     gladexml = glade_xml_new (filename, ...);
     g_free (filename);
     if (!gladexml)
         gladexml = glade_xml_new (GLADEDIR "/galeon.glade", ...);
}



/* src/Makefile.am */

TESTS = test-galeon



/* src/test-galeon */

#!/bin/sh

test --gladedir="$srcdir/../ui"



Rgrds,
