Prerequisites ============= GTK+ requires the following packages: - The GLib, Pango, GdkPixbuf, ATK and cairo libraries, available at the same location as GTK+. GTK+ 3.4.0 requires at least GLib 2.31.20, Pango 1.29.0, GdkPixbuf 2.25.2, ATK 2.1.5 and cairo 1.10.0. - Each GDK backend has its own backend-specific requirements. For the X11 backend, X11 R6 and XInput version 2 (as well as a number of other extensions) are required. - gobject-introspection 0.10.1 or newer.
