1If you want to hack on the GLib project, you'll need to have the 2following packages installed: 3 4 - GNU autoconf 2.54 5 - GNU automake 1.7 6 - GNU libtool 1.4 7 - GNU gettext 0.10.40 8 - gtk-doc 9 10These should be available by ftp from ftp.gnu.org or any of the 11fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org. 12 13To compile a CVS version of glib on your system, you will need to take 14several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these 15steps at once by running: 16 17 cvsroot/glib# ./autogen.sh 18 19Basically this does the following for you: 20 21 cvsroot/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf 22 23 The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you 24 can run the configure script in cvsroot/glib to create all 25 the Makefiles. 26 27Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool 28in your path. 29 30Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass 31options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options 32to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure. 33 34For information about submitting patches see the README file. 35
