GTK+ requires the following packages:
- - The GLIB, Pango, and Atk libraries, available at the same location as GTK+
+ - The GLib, Pango, GdkPixbuf, ATK and cairo libraries, available at
+ the same location as GTK+. GTK+ @GTK_VERSION@ requires at least
+ GLib @GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION@, Pango @PANGO_REQUIRED_VERSION@,
+ GdkPixbuf @GDK_PIXBUF_REQUIRED_VERSION@, ATK @ATK_REQUIRED_VERSION@
+ and cairo @CAIRO_REQUIRED_VERSION@.
- - The TIFF, PNG, and JPEG image loading libraries. You most
- likely have these installed on your system already. If not
- these libraries are available from:
+ - Each GDK backend has its own backend-specific requirements. For
+ the X11 backend, X11 R6 and XInput version 2 (as well as a number
+ of other extensions) are required.
- http://www.libtiff.org/
- ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/
- ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
-
- If these libraries are not available, the corresponding
- image loaders will simply not be built. However, this
- may cause applications using GTK+ not to function properly.
+ - gobject-introspection @INTROSPECTION_REQUIRED_VERSION@ or newer.

- % make # build GTK
+ % tar xf gtk+-@GTK_VERSION@.tar.xz # unpack the sources

+ % make # build GTK+
[ Become root if necessary ]
- % make install # install GTK

-The Nitty-Gritty
-================
-
-The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
-and disable various features. For a complete list, type:
-
- ./configure --help
-
-A few of the more important ones:
-
-* --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
- [ Defaults to /usr/local ]
-
-* --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
- [ Defaults to the value given to --prefix ]
-
-* --with-xinput=[no/gxi/xfree] support XInput [default=no]
-
-The --with-xinput flag specifies whether to compile with support
-for the XInput extension (mainly used for graphics tablets), and
-which form of support to use:
-
- no : no support
- xfree : Use special features in the Wacom drivers in XFree86 3.3.1
- and later.
- gxi : Use generic XInput support (not recommended)
-
-The XInput support is not known to work with any other XServer than
-XFree86. For more information about XInput, see:
-
- http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/xinput/howto/index.html
- http://www.lepied.com/xfree86/
-
-* --disable-nls do not use Native Language Support
-
-If this flag is not specified, GTK+ will try to find
-and use the gettext() set of functions to provide translations
-of the strings in the standard dialogs into the
-user's native language.
-
-* --enable-xim support XIM [default=yes]
-
-Specifying --disable-xim will disable support for entering
-internationalized text using X Input Methods. This will give some
-slight savings in speed and memory use and might be necessary
-with older versions of X.
-
-* --with-locale=LOCALE locale name you want to use
-
-The --with-locale options is used to determine if your operating
-system has support for the locale you will be using. If not, X's
-built in locale support will be used.
-
-Because of bugs in autoconf, it is necessary to specify this
-option even if your LANG environment variable is correctly set.
-
-This option does not determine which locale GTK will use at
-runtime. That will be determined from the usual environment
-variables. If you will be using multiple locales with GTK,
-specify the one for which your operating system has the worst
-support for the --with-locale option.
-
-
-Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting
-environment variables before running configure. A few of the more
-important ones:
-
- CC : The C compiler to use
- CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D
- CFLAGS : C compiler flags
-
-The most important use of this is to set the
-optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no
-debugging information at all, run configure as:
-
- CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh)
-
-or,
-
- setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants
-
-Native-Language Support and gettext()
-=====================================
-
-To provide native-language support (NLS) GTK+ uses the
-gettext() set of functions. These functions are found
-in the C library on many systems, such as the Solaris
-C library and the GNU C Library, version 2.
-
-If your C library does not provide the necessary functionality,
-you may wish to install the GNU gettext package. You'll
-need version 0.10.35 or better. Version 0.10.35 is
-available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu
-
-Generally, GTK+ will properly detect what is installed
-on your system and enable or disable NLS as appropriate.
-However, in rare cases, it may be necessary to disable
-NLS manually to get GTK+ to compile. You can do this
-by specifying the --disable-nls flag when configuring
-GTK+.
-
-Installation directories
-========================
-
-The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
-and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
-detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
-use of these flags is not tested.
-
-One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
-include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
-
- $exec_pref/lib/glib/include/
-
-if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
-and should be deleted.
-
-A shell script gtk-config is created during the configure
-process, and installed in the bin/ directory
-($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of GTK
-when building applications. If you move GTK after installation,
-it will be necessary to edit this file.
-
-For complete details, see the file docs/gtk-config.txt
-
-
-Notes for using XIM support for Japanese input
-==============================================
-
-* There is a bug in older versions of kinput2 that will cause GTK+
-to hang when destroying a text entry. The latest versions of
-kinput is available from:
-
- ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/x11/kinput2
-
-* The locale information file for the ja_JP EUC locale
-distributed with some recent versions of X11 specifies to use the
-C library multibyte functions. Unless your C library has support
-for Japanese locales, this is incorrect, and will cause problems
-for GTK's internationalization.
-
-(In particular, this occurs with GNU libc 2.0 in which
-the multibyte functions always translate to and from UTF-8; but
-the problem may occur for other C libraries, and other operating
-systems as well.)
-
-To fix this, change the line:
-
-use_stdc_env True
+ % make install # install GTK+
-to
+The Details
+===========
-use_stdc_env False
