We consider U(N) SYM with chiral adjoint matter where the coupling constants in the tree-level superpotential are promoted to chiral spurions. The holomorphic part of the low-energy glueball superpotential can still be analyzed. We compute the holomorphic supersymmetry breaking contributions using methods of the geometry underlying the N=1 effective gauge theory viewed as a Whitham system. We also study the change in the effective glueball superpotential using perturbative supergraph techniques in the presence of spurions.24 pages, LaTeX; minor changes, one reference added, version to appear in JHEPHigh Energy Physics - TheoryOn supersymmetry breaking and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa conjecturetext
