Building Without Gnome

   Some of our prospective clients have data in Access .mdb format, and we
can help them by converting those data to another format. Today I discovered
MDB Tools, and tried building both 0.5 and 0.6pre1, but both failed because
I do not have Gnome installed. However, libglade is installed here.

   I have run only Xfce and have found that trying to install Gnome on
Slackware is so much of a PITA that I won't waste more time trying.

   Is there a way to build mdb-tools so we can use the command line
conversion API without the GUI which requires Gnome?

Thanks,

Rich
