The GTK+ package contains GTK+ Libraries. This is useful for creating graphical user interfaces for applications.
GTK+ depends on: GLib-2.2.1, xfree86-4.3.0, Pango-1.2.1, ATK-1.2.0, libpng-1.2.5, libtiff-3.5.7 and libjpeg-6b GTK+ will utilize: gtk-doc-1.0 |
Install GTK+ by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install |
--sysconfdir=/etc : This switch installs the configuration files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.
--enable-gtk-doc : This switch will rebuild the API documentation during the make command.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The GTK+ package contains libgtk-x11-2.0 libraries.
GTK+ Libraries provide the API to implement graphical user interfaces.
