glib/HACKING

If you want to hack on the GLib project, you'll need to have the
following packages installed:

        - Meson 0.48.0
        - GNU gettext 0.10.40
        - pkg-config 0.16
        - gtk-doc
        - libffi 3.0.0

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:

        checkout/glib# meson _build

For information about submitting patches see the CONTRIBUTING.md file. For
information about major design decisions, see the README.rationale file.

docs: Add a README.rationale documenting major design decisions It will be useful to document the major decisions which affect the whole of GLib in one centralised, easily-greppable file, otherwise they will get lost forever in Bugzilla. This file should contain a brief explanation of the decision and its rationale, plus a link to further discussion (e.g. on a mailing list or bug report). This contains an initial discussion about use of compiler attributes in GLib. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113075 2014-05-02 09:42:06 +02:00			`information about major design decisions, see the README.rationale file.`
