atkmm is the C++ binding for the ATK library.
|
|
This module is part of the GNOME C++ bindings effort <http://www.gtkmm.org/>.
|

|
|
# Building
|
|
|
|
Whenever possible, you should use the official binary packages approved by the
|
|
supplier of your operating system, such as your Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
## Building on Windows
|
|
|
|
See README.win32
|
|
|
|
## Building from a release tarball
|
|
|
|
Extract the tarball and go to the extracted directory:
|
|
$ tar xf atkmm-@ATKMM_VERSION@.tar.xz
|
|
$ cd atkmm-@ATKMM_VERSION@
|
|
|
|
It's easiest to build with Meson, if the tarball was made with Meson,
|
|
and to build with Autotools, if the tarball was made with Autotools.
|
|
Then you don't have to use maintainer-mode.
|
|
|
|
How do you know how the tarball was made? If it was made with Meson,
|
|
it contains files in untracked/atk/atkmm/ and other subdirectories
|
|
of untracked/.
|
|
|
|
### Building from a tarball with Meson
|
|
|
|
Don't call the builddir 'build'. There is a directory called 'build' with
|
|
files used by Autotools.
|
|
|
|
$ meson --prefix /some_directory --libdir lib your_builddir .
|
|
$ cd your_builddir
|
|
|
|
If the tarball was made with Autotools, you must enable maintainer-mode:
|
|
$ meson configure -Dmaintainer-mode=true
|
|
|
|
Then, regardless of how the tarball was made:
|
|
$ ninja
|
|
$ ninja install
|
|
|
|
### Building from a tarball with Autotools
|
|
|
|
If the tarball was made with Autotools:
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/some_directory
|
|
If the tarball was made with Meson, you must enable maintainer-mode:
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/some_directory
|
|
|
|
Then, regardless of how the tarball was made:
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
## Building from git
|
|
|
|
Building from git can be difficult so you should prefer building from
|
|
a release tarball unless you need to work on the atkmm code itself.
|
|
|
|
jhbuild can be a good help
|

|
|
|
|
### Building from git with Meson
|
|
|
|
Maintainer-mode is enabled by default when you build from a git clone.
|
|
|
|
Don't call the builddir 'build'. There is a directory called 'build' with
|
|
files used by Autotools.
|
|
|
|
$ meson --prefix /some_directory --libdir lib your_builddir .
|
|
$ cd your_builddir
|
|
$ ninja
|
|
$ ninja install
|
|
You can create a tarball like so:
|
|
$ ninja dist
|
|
|
|
### Building from git with Autotools
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/some_directory
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
You can create a tarball like so:
|
|
$ make distcheck
|
|
or
|
|
$ make dist
|
