HOWTO

# GTK+
# ====
# Below are several versions of GTK+.  The latest 1.2.x version, old but
# still in use by several apps, and several 2.x.x versions.  I'll keep
# the others updated with the latest, but keep in mind that I actually
# only use the 2.18.x version.  See notes below for more info.

# Slackware's 'gtk+' package includes the following versions of GTK+:
# 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1: 1.2.10
#
# Slackware's 'gtk+2' package includes:
# 9.0: 2.2.1
# 9.1: 2.2.4
# 10.0: 2.4.3
# 10.1: 2.6.1
# 10.2: 2.6.10
# 11.0: 2.8.20
# 12.0: 2.10.13
# 12.1: 2.12.9
# and patched/updated versions may also be in 'patches'.

# Below I remove gtk*.mo files that are installed under /usr/share/locale
# because I'm in the USA and I only read & write English (well).  If
# this is not the case for you, remove --disable-nls from the configure
# line (if it's there) and skip the part that removes the gtk*.mo files
# ("find /usr/share/locale...").

# If you want to uninstall GTK+ or clean up old versions, a good idea when
# upgrading a source-installed version, skip down to the bottom first.

# GTK+ 1.2.10 (GLib 1.2.x)
# ===========
# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# indent
# Glib >= 1.2.8
# XFree86 or X.org

# GTK+ 2.12.12
# ============
# Use this one if you're installing it for Gnome 2.20.x or 2.22.x

# Prerequisites:
# pkg-config
# Perl
# indent
# gettext
# Glib >= 2.13.5
# libtiff
# libjpeg
# libpng
# XFree86 or X.org
# pango >= 1.17.3
# atk >= 1.9.0
# Cairo >= 1.2.0
# gtk-doc (Slackware includes this in it's sgml-tools or
#  linuxdoc-tools packages; will be used if --enable-gtk-doc is passed to
#  configure)

# If you have trouble with the download URL below, you can get it here also:

# GTK+ 2.14.2
# ===========
# Use this one if you're installing it for Gnome 2.23.x
# (or I guess 2.24.x, which isn't out yet as I write this)

# Prerequisites:
# pkg-config
# Perl
# indent
# gettext
# Glib >= 2.17.6
# libtiff
# libjpeg
# libpng
# jasper (to skip, use --without-libjasper)
# XFree86 or X.org
# pango >= 1.20
# atk >= 1.13.0
# Cairo >= 1.6.0
# gtk-doc (Slackware includes this in it's sgml-tools or
#  linuxdoc-tools packages; will be used if --enable-gtk-doc is passed to
#  configure)

# Even with --without-x, you still need the X development libraries.  So,
# if you're doing something like installing GTK+ for GDK so Cairo can use
# it, you may just want to forget it and build Cairo without GDK.

# GTK+ requires Cairo and Cairo can use GTK+.  So you may want to build
# and install Cairo, then GTK+, then Cairo again.
