								To compile a GIT version of glib 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:
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 |

								Basically this does the following for you:
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								        The above commands create the "configure" script.  Now you
							 | 
						
					
						
							
								
									
										
										
										
											2011-12-27 18:10:26 -05:00
										 
									 
								 
							 | 
							
								
									
										
									
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								        can run the configure script in checkout/glib 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.
