Dependencies
============
-In order to get CVS atk installed on your system, you need to have
-the most recent CVS version of glib installed as well.
+ATK requires GLib >= 2.31.2. Information about GLib is available from
+http://www.gtk.org/.

+Getting the source code
+=======================
-To compile a CVS version of atk 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:
+You can get the source code of each ATK release as a tarball:
+https://download.gnome.org/sources/atk/
- cvsroot/atk# ./autogen.sh
-
-Basically this does the following for you:
+You can also clone the ATK master branch from GNOME repository:
+https://git.gnome.org/browse/atk
+
+Building
+========
- cvsroot/atk# aclocal; automake; autoconf
+To buid ATK from a release tarball, the usual is using autotool, as:
- The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
- can run the configure script in cvsroot/atk to create all
- the Makefiles.
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ # make install
-Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
-in your path.
+To build ATK from a Git clone, run the autogen.sh script instead of
+the configure one. 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.
