If you want to hack on the GLib project, it will make you life easier

|
to have the following packages installed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU autoconf 2.13
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU automake 1.4
|
|
|
|
|
(Beta releases are at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU libtool 1.2d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
|
|
|
|
|
fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.

To compile a CVS 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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/glib# ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basically this does the following for you:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
|
|
|
|
|
can run the configure script in cvsroot/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.
