Simple install procedure
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
% gzip -cd glib-2.12.1.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources
|
|
% cd glib-2.12.1 # change to the toplevel directory
|
|
% ./configure # run the `configure' script
|
|
% make # build GLIB
|
|
|
|
[ Become root if necessary ]
|
|
% rm -rf /install-prefix/include/glib.h /install-prefix/include/gmodule.h
|
|
% make install # install GLIB
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
GLib-2.0 requires pkg-config, which is tool for tracking the
|
|
compilation flags needed for libraries. (For each library, a small .pc
|
|
text file is installed in a standard location that contains the
|
|
compilation flags needed for that library along with version number
|
|
information.) Information about pkg-config can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
|
|
|
|
GNU make (http://www.gnu.org/software/make) is also recommended.
|
|
|
|
In order to implement conversions between character sets,
|
|
GLib requires an implementation of the standard iconv() routine.
|
|
Most modern systems will have a suitable implementation, however
|
|
many older systems lack an iconv() implementation. On such systems,
|
|
you must install the libiconv library. This can be found at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
|
|
|
|
If your system has an iconv implementation but you want to use
|
|
libiconv instead, you can pass the --with-libiconv option to
|
|
configure. This forces libiconv to be used.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you have libiconv installed in your default include
|
|
search path (for instance, in /usr/local/), but don't enable
|
|
it, you will get an error while compiling GLib because the
|
|
iconv.h that libiconv installs hides the system iconv.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the native iconv implementation on Solaris
|
|
instead of libiconv, you'll need to make sure that you have
|
|
the converters between locale encodings and UTF-8 installed.
|
|
At a minimum you'll need the SUNWuiu8 package. You probably
|
|
should also install the SUNWciu8, SUNWhiu8, SUNWjiu8, and
|
|
SUNWkiu8 packages.
|
|
|
|
The native iconv on Compaq Tru64 doesn't contain support for
|
|
UTF-8, so you'll need to use GNU libiconv instead. (When
|
|
using GNU libiconv for GLib, you'll need to use GNU libiconv
|
|
for GNU gettext as well.) This probably applies to related
|
|
operating systems as well.
|
|
|
|
Finally, for message catalog handling, GLib requires an implementation
|
|
of gettext(). If your system doesn't provide this functionality,
|
|
you should use the libintl library from the GNU gettext package,
|
|
available from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
|
|
|
|
The Nitty-Gritty
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Complete information about installing GLib can be found
|
|
in the file:
|
|
|
|
docs/reference/glib/html/glib-building.html
|
|
|
|
Or online at:
|
|
|
|
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-building.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation directories
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
|
|
and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
|
|
detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
|
|
use of these flags is not tested.
|
|
|
|
One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
|
|
include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
|
|
|
|
$exec_prefix/lib/glib/include/
|
|
|
|
if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
|
|
and should be deleted.
|
|
|
|
.pc files for the various libraries are installed in
|
|
$exec_prefix/lib/pkgconfig to provide information when compiling
|
|
other packages that depend on GLib. If you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
|
|
so that it points to this directory, then you can get the
|
|
correct include flags and library flags for compiling a GLib
|
|
application with:
|
|
|
|
pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
|
|
pkg-config --libs glib-2.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross-compiling GLib
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Information about cross-compilation of GLib can be found
|
|
in the file:
