autoconf + automake + gtk2 = massive headache

[KingOfMalkier]

So, I've been tooling around with gtk2 and I've got a gui all built in c++, it doesn't do anything yet, but it looks nice. I decided that now would be a good time to learn autoconf and automake, get nice professional looking builds and whatnot. It's proving to be quite difficult. I made it work on a simple 9 line "hello world" program, but when I tried on my gtk2 project, stuff goes wrong. It appears that it isn't using the gtk compile flags (can't find gtkmm/main.h, tons of undeclared type and parse errors), but I'm not sure how to let autoconf and automake know I need gtk. I've tried looking through the documentation, but it's thoroughly overwhelming. If anyone has used these things and gtk I'd love to hear any tips.

Aha! Solved it!
I found this when I was looking at some stuff glade generated (I use it for experimenting with different layouts).
In configure.ac
