1 If you want to hack on the GLib project, you'll need to have the 2 following packages installed: 3 4 - GNU autoconf 2.54 5 - GNU automake 1.7 6 - GNU libtool 1.4 7 - GNU gettext 0.10.40 8 - gtk-doc 9 10 These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the 11 fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org. 12 13 To compile a CVS version of glib on your system, you will need to take 14 several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these 15 steps at once by running: 16 17 cvsroot/glib# ./autogen.sh 18 19 Basically this does the following for you: 20 21 cvsroot/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf 22 23 The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you 24 can run the configure script in cvsroot/glib to create all 25 the Makefiles. 26 27 Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool 28 in your path. 29 30 Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass 31 options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options 32 to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure. 33 34 For information about submitting patches see the README file. 35
