The GTK+ package contains GTK+ Libraries. This is useful for creating graphical user interfaces for applications.

GTK+ depends on:
GLib-1.2.10, libpng-1.2.5, libtiff-3.5.7, libjpeg-6b
and xfree86-4.3.0

Installation of GTK+

Install GTK+ by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

--sysconfdir=/etc : This installs the configuration files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.

--with-xinput=xfree : This configuration flag is necessary to utilize alternative input devices.

Configuring GTK+

Configuration Information

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.
