Prerequisites ============= GTK+ requires the following packages: - The GLib, Pango, GdkPixbuf, ATK and cairo libraries, available at the same location as GTK+. GTK+ 3.22.30 requires at least GLib 2.49.4, Pango 1.37.3, GdkPixbuf 2.30.0, ATK 2.15.1 and cairo 1.14.0. - 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 1.39.0 or newer. Simple install procedure ======================== % tar xf gtk+-3.22.30.tar.xz # unpack the sources % cd gtk+-3.22.30 # change to the toplevel directory % ./configure # run the `configure' script % make # build GTK+ [ Become root if necessary ] % make install # install GTK+ The Details =========== Complete information about installing GTK+ and related libraries can be found in the file: docs/reference/gtk/html/gtk-building.html Or online at: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-building.html
