If you want to hack on the Gtk+ project, it will make you life easier
|
|
to have the following packages installed:
|
|
|
|
- GNU autoconf 2.12
|
|
- GNU automake 1.3
|
|
(Beta releases are at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
|
|
- GNU libtool 1.2
|
|
- GNU indent (1.9.1 is known good)
|
|
|
|
These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
|
|
fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
In order to get CVS gtk+ installed on your system, you need to have
|
|
the most recent CVS version of glib installed as well.
|
|
The installation process of glib is similar to that of gtk+, but
|
|
needs to be fulfilled prior to installation of gtk+.
|
|
|
|
To compile a CVS version of gtk+ on your system, you will need to take
|
|
several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these
|
|
steps at once by running:
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/gtk+# ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
Basically this does the following for you:
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/gtk+# aclocal; automake; autoconf
|
|
|
|
The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
|
|
can run the configure script in cvsroot/gtk+ to create all
|
|
the Makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
|
|
in your path.
|
|
|
|
Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
|
|
options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
|
|
to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
|
|
|
|
If at all possible, please use CVS to get the latest development version of
|
|
gtk+ and glib. You can do the following to get glib and gtk+ from cvs:
|
|
|
|
$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.gimp.org:/debian/home/gnomecvs'
|
|
$ cvs login
|
|
(there is no password, just hit return)
|
|
$ cvs -z9 checkout glib
|
|
$ cvs -z9 checkout gtk+
|
|
|
|
Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must
|
|
subscribe before you post, e-mail gtk-list-request@redhat.com with a
|
|
subject of "subscribe"). All kinds of contributions are accepted.
|
|
Patches that you wish to go into the distribution should also be uploaded
|
|
to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/incoming. Follow the rules there for naming your
|
|
patches.
