HOWTO

# glibmm
# ======
# I include three versions below: the latest 2.6.x and 2.8.x releases.
# I will keep all of them updated, but keep in mind that I only actually
# use the 2.8.x version (as of when I wrote this).
#
# There is a 2.10.x version available, but the web site still says that
# 2.8.x is the current stable release, so I'll hold off on that.
# 2.10.4's README, NEWS, etc. don't say anything about stable/unstable/
# development.

# If you ever want to uninstall glibmm, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions

# As configured below, the docs will go into /usr/local/share/doc
# If you don't want this, either pass --datadir=/usr to configure (making
# them go into /usr/doc), or create a symlink in /usr/local/share to
# /usr/doc like so:
# su -c "ln -s /usr/doc /usr/local/share/doc"

# Prerequisites (for both versions):
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# m4
# perl
# pkg-config
# sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.0

# glibmm 2.6.6
# ============
# Prerequisites (beyond those listed above):
# glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0
