+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:
- 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.

-Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must
-subscribe before you post, e-mail gtk-list-request@redhat.com with a
-subject of "subscribe"). All kinds of contributions are accepted.
-Patches that you wish to go into the distribution should also be uploaded
-to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/incoming. Follow the rules there for naming your
-patches.
