1 If you want to hack on the GLib project, you'll need to have the
2 following packages installed:
12 These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
13 fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
15 To compile a GIT version of glib on your system, you will need to take
16 several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these
17 steps at once by running:
19 checkout/glib# ./autogen.sh
21 Basically this does the following for you:
23 checkout/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
25 The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
26 can run the configure script in checkout/glib to create all
29 Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
32 Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
33 options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
34 to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
