<para>
Contains all that you need to include libgtop in any Gnome application. It defines
<function>GNOME_INIT_LIBGTOP</function> which you can use in the same way like

use to check which sysdeps directory <productname>libgtop</productname> should
use and whether the <filename>gtop_server</filename> is needed.

<para>
Some of the system dependent parts of <productname>libgtop</productname>
provide a structure <structname>_glibtop_machine</structname> defined in
a header file <filename>glibtop_machine.h</filename> they provide. This
structure gets inserted into the <structfield>machine</structfield> member
of <structname>_glibtop</structname> when <filename>config.h</filename>
defines <parameter>HAVE_GLIBTOP_MACHINE_H</parameter>.
<para>
This variable is either <literal>yes</literal> or <literal>no</literal> and

<chapter id="configure">

<para> &autoconf.sgml;
The <filename>configure</filename> script of <productname>libgtop</productname>
takes some non-standard options to let you decide which parts of the library
should be build.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Normally, <filename>configure</filename> decides whether or not using the
server is required. Depending upon this decision, it adds either
<literal>-lgtop</literal> (when it's needed) or
<literal>-lgtop_systems</literal> (when it's not needed) to
<parameter>LIBGTOP_LIBS</parameter> and <parameter>LIBGTOP_GUILE_LIBS</parameter>.
<para>
You can change this behaviour with the following options:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--enable-libgtop-server</parameter>
<listitem>
<para>
Use the server regardless whether or not it is required.
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-libgtop-server</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Do not use the server regardless wheter or not it is required.
</variablelist>
<listitem>
<para>
Normally, the guile interface of <productname>libgtop</productname> is build
when <productname>guile</productname> can be found on the system.
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-libgtop-guile</parameter>
<listitem>
<para>
Disables building the guile interface even if you have
<productname>guile</productname> installed.
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--enable-libgtop-guile</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Has no effect at all since you cannot build the guile interface without
having <productname>guile</productname> installed on your system.
</variablelist>
<listitem>
<para>
If you do not need the <filename>names</filename> subdirs, you can disable
their building with the following option:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-libgtop-names</parameter>
<listitem>
<para>
Disables building of the <filename>names</filename> subdirs.
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--enable-libgtop-names</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Is the default.
</variablelist>
<para>
If it is enables, <parameter>GLIBTOP_NAMES</parameter> will be defined.
<listitem>
<para>
To disable building of the examples, you can say:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
