1 If you want to hack on the GLib project, it will make you life easier
2 to have the following packages installed:
6 (Beta releases are at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey)
9 These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the
10 fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
12 To compile a CVS version of glib on your system, you will need to take
13 several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these
14 steps at once by running:
16 cvsroot/glib# ./autogen.sh
18 Basically this does the following for you:
20 cvsroot/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
22 The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
23 can run the configure script in cvsroot/glib to create all
26 Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
29 Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
30 options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
31 to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
