=============
|
|
|
|
GTK+ requires the following packages:
|
|
|
|
- The GLIB, Pango, and Atk libraries, available at the same location as GTK+
|
|
|
|
- The TIFF, PNG, and JPEG image loading libraries. You most
|
|
likely have these installed on your system already. If not
|
|
these libraries are available from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.libtiff.org/
|
|
ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/src/
|
|
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
|
|
|
|
If these libraries are not available, the corresponding
|
|
image loaders will simply not be built. However, this
|
|
may cause applications using GTK+ not to function properly.
|
|
|
|
Simple install procedure
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
% gzip -cd gtk+-1.3.11.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources
|
|
% cd gtk+-1.3.11 # change to the toplevel directory
|
|
% ./configure # run the `configure' script
|
|
% make # build GTK
|
|
[ Become root if necessary ]
|
|
% make install # install GTK
|
|
|
|
The Nitty-Gritty
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
|
|
and disable various features. For a complete list, type:
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
A few of the more important ones:
|
|
|
|
* --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
|
|
[ Defaults to /usr/local ]
|
|
|
|
* --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
|
|
[ Defaults to the value given to --prefix ]
|
|
|
|
* --with-xinput=[no/gxi/xfree] support XInput [default=no]
|
|
|
|
The --with-xinput flag specifies whether to compile with support
|
|
for the XInput extension (mainly used for graphics tablets), and
|
|
which form of support to use:
|
|
|
|
no : no support
|
|
xfree : Use special features in the Wacom drivers in XFree86 3.3.1
|
|
and later.
|
|
gxi : Use generic XInput support (not recommended)
|
|
|
|
The XInput support is not known to work with any other XServer than
|
|
XFree86. For more information about XInput, see:
|
|
|
|
http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/xinput/howto/index.html
|
|
http://www.lepied.com/xfree86/
|
|
|
|
* --disable-nls do not use Native Language Support
|
|
|
|
If this flag is not specified, GTK+ will try to find
|
|
and use the gettext() set of functions to provide translations
|
|
of the strings in the standard dialogs into the
|
|
user's native language.
|
|
|
|
* --enable-xim support XIM [default=yes]
|
|
|
|
Specifying --disable-xim will disable support for entering
|
|
internationalized text using X Input Methods. This will give some
|
|
slight savings in speed and memory use and might be necessary
|
|
with older versions of X.
|
|
|
|
* --with-locale=LOCALE locale name you want to use
|
|
|
|
The --with-locale options is used to determine if your operating
|
|
system has support for the locale you will be using. If not, X's
|
|
built in locale support will be used.
|
|
|
|
Because of bugs in autoconf, it is necessary to specify this
|
|
option even if your LANG environment variable is correctly set.
|
|
|
|
This option does not determine which locale GTK will use at
|
|
runtime. That will be determined from the usual environment
|
|
variables. If you will be using multiple locales with GTK,
|
|
specify the one for which your operating system has the worst
|
|
support for the --with-locale option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting
|
|
environment variables before running configure. A few of the more
|
|
important ones:
|
|
|
|
CC : The C compiler to use
|
|
CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D
|
|
CFLAGS : C compiler flags
|
|
|
|
The most important use of this is to set the
|
|
optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no
|
|
debugging information at all, run configure as:
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh)
|
|
|
|
or,
|
|
|
|
setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants
|
|
|
|
Native-Language Support and gettext()
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
To provide native-language support (NLS) GTK+ uses the
|
|
gettext() set of functions. These functions are found
|
|
in the C library on many systems, such as the Solaris
|
|
C library and the GNU C Library, version 2.
|
|
|
|
If your C library does not provide the necessary functionality,
|
|
you may wish to install the GNU gettext package. You'll
|
|
need version 0.10.35 or better. Version 0.10.35 is
|
|
available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu
|
|
|
|
Generally, GTK+ will properly detect what is installed
|
|
on your system and enable or disable NLS as appropriate.
|
|
However, in rare cases, it may be necessary to disable
|
|
NLS manually to get GTK+ to compile. You can do this
|
|
by specifying the --disable-nls flag when configuring
|
|
GTK+.
|
|
|
|
Installation directories
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
|
|
and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
|
|
detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
|
|
use of these flags is not tested.
|
|
|
|
One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
|
|
include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
|
|
|
|
$exec_pref/lib/glib/include/
|
|
|
|
if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
|
|
and should be deleted.
|
|
|
|
A shell script gtk-config is created during the configure
|
|
process, and installed in the bin/ directory
|
|
($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of GTK
|
|
when building applications. If you move GTK after installation,
|
|
it will be necessary to edit this file.
|
|
|
|

Notes for using XIM support for Japanese input
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
* There is a bug in older versions of kinput2 that will cause GTK+
|
|
to hang when destroying a text entry. The latest versions of
|
|
kinput is available from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/x11/kinput2
|
|
|
|
* The locale information file for the ja_JP EUC locale
|
|
distributed with some recent versions of X11 specifies to use the
|
|
C library multibyte functions. Unless your C library has support
|
|
for Japanese locales, this is incorrect, and will cause problems
|
|
for GTK's internationalization.
|
|
|
|
(In particular, this occurs with GNU libc 2.0 in which
|
|
the multibyte functions always translate to and from UTF-8; but
|
|
the problem may occur for other C libraries, and other operating
|
|
systems as well.)
|
|
|
|
To fix this, change the line:
|
|
|
|
use_stdc_env True
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
use_stdc_env False
|
|
|
|
in the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ja_JP/XLC_LOCALE.
