Oh, no problem, I am a beginner after all :-) And I always forget to add project's homepage to the message :-/ > BTW I don't recommend autotools (there's a reason they're called autohell ;) Yeah, now I know that myself ;-) > especially if you're not writing from scratch.

Well, you are third person, that is telling me that (though you all differ with alternative tools - from CMake, to pkg-config, to what you are suggesting now). If only I knew it, when I was getting down to it. Unfortunately, my lack of experience doesn't make this project any easier, it's my first 3 months, that I'm doing anything like this. However, for the time being I will stick to what I could create with those autotools - I get shivers, when I imagine, that I have to learn something like this again ;-) -- Filip Gruszczyński
