Prerequisites
=============
GTK+ requires the following packages:
- Autotools or Meson
- The GLib, Pango, GdkPixbuf, ATK and cairo libraries, available at
the same location as GTK+. GTK+ @GTK_VERSION@ requires at least
GLib @GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION@, Pango @PANGO_REQUIRED_VERSION@,
GdkPixbuf @GDK_PIXBUF_REQUIRED_VERSION@, ATK @ATK_REQUIRED_VERSION@
and cairo @CAIRO_REQUIRED_VERSION@.
- libepoxy, for cross-platform OpenGL support.
It can be found here: https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy
- 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. The Wayland backend requires
(obviously) the Wayland libraries.
- gobject-introspection @INTROSPECTION_REQUIRED_VERSION@ or newer.
Simple install procedure for Meson
==================================
% tar xf gtk+-@GTK_VERSION@.tar.xz # unpack the sources
% cd gtk+-@GTK_VERSION@ # change to the toplevel directory
% meson setup _build # configure GTK+
% meson compile -C _build # build GTK+
[ Become root if necessary ]
% meson install -C _build # install GTK+
Simple install procedure for Autotools
======================================
% tar xf gtk+-@GTK_VERSION@.tar.xz # unpack the sources
% cd gtk+-@GTK_VERSION@ # change to the toplevel directory
% ./autogen.sh # configure GTK+
% make # build GTK+
[ Become root if necessary ]
% make install # install GTK+
