If you want to hack on the Gtk+ project, it will make you life easier
to have the following packages installed:
- GNU autoconf 2.12
- GNU automake 1.2d
Available in ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey
- GNU libtool 1.0h
Available in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/
These should be available by ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu or any of the
fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
If you are accessing gtk+ via CVS, then you will need to take several
steps to get it to compile. These are:
cvsroot/gtk+# aclocal; automake; autoconf
The "configure" script will not exist until you take these steps.
Before running configure, make sure you have libtool in your path
Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must
subscribe before you post, e-mail gtk-list-request@redhat.com with a
subject of "subscribe"). All kinds of contributions are accepted. If at
all possible, please use CVS to get the latest development version of
gtk+; the README file has the CVSROOT information.
