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
+ - GNU autoconf 2.13
+ - GNU automake 1.4
(Beta releases are at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
- GNU libtool 1.2d
- indent (GNU indent 1.9.1 is known good)
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'
+ $ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
$ 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.
+ $ cvs -z3 checkout glib
+ $ cvs -z3 checkout gtk+

+For information about submitting patches and commiting changes
