Using gtk+autotools

Hello everyone,

I decided to work on my gtk/c skills and something I've wanted for a while on my BSD box is an iTunes-like player, so I'm going to make one :)

Most of my programming has been with windows/visual c++ and I don't have that much knowledge of the unix autotools. So far the only times I've worked on a *nix program is when most files are set up and I only have to edit a few makefiles, or just type "gcc <filenames> -o program". Can someone explain or give a link how to use autotools and build a program with gtk in freebsd? Thank you :)
 
Update: I stopped working on this for a while, but I just started again and a new problem I've run into is finding a library to decode or play mp3s with. Is there any specific library I should use for FreeBSD?
 
For MPEG(1/2/3) decoding I'd use audio/libmad. Provides PCM output that is easy to manipulate on a *nix system.
