  <title>Add a Module</title>

  <p>Packages cannot be added directly to a program but have to be grouped in
  a module.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select a program in the <gui>project view</gui>, click on the right
      mouse button to make the <gui>project context menu</gui> appear, and
      select <gui>Add Library</gui>.</p>
      <p>Or from the <gui>main menu</gui>, select <guiseq><gui>Project</gui>
      <gui>Add Library...</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>On the <gui>Add Library</gui> dialog, click on the
      <gui>New Library</gui> button.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>You will get a list of all the packaged libraries installed on your
      system. You can check one or more libraries.</p>
      <note style="tip">
        <p>If the library you want does not appear here:</p>
	  <list>
            <item>
              <p>Perhaps it is not installed on your system.
              Launch the application you
              use to install new programs and search for the library name.
              The package you need often has a "dev" or "devel" suffix and
              should include header files and a <app>pkg-config</app> file with a
              <file>.pc</file> extension.</p>
            </item>
            <item>
              <p>It could be that the library is not packaged, it is often the
              case for libraries not developped on Linux. See the chapter 
              <link xref="project-manager-library-add"/> explaining how to
              use them.</p>
            </item>
          </list>
      </note>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>After selecting one library, a module name will be
      automatically generated but you can change it. You can select an already
      existing module name to add a new library to it and to all targets
      already using it.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p> When you are
      done, click on the <gui>Add</gui> button to create the new module
      with the selected libraries. You need to add a new module to at least
      one target to really use it.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
