(4) USAGE
The library provides three levels of APIs, CORE, SHELL, and GUI. For
CORE API, include <m17n-core.h>, for SHELL API, include <m17n.h>, and
-for GUI API, include <m17n-gui.h> and <m17n-X.h>. See the
-documementation above, or the manual of m17nIntro(3) for more detail.
+for GUI API, include <m17n-gui.h >. See the documentation above, or
+the manual of m17nIntro(3) for more detail.
The shell script "m17n-config" helps compiling and linking of a
program that uses the m17n library. For instance this compiles PROG.c
% gcc -o PROG `m17n-config --clags` `m17n-config --libs` PROG.c
+This compiles PROX.c that uses GUI API and builds executable PROX.
+
+ % gcc -o PROX `m17n-config GUI --clags` `m17n-config GUI --libs` PROX.c
