Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org. + +To compile a CVS version of glib on your system, you will need to take +several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these +steps at once by running: + + cvsroot/glib# ./autogen.sh + +Basically this does the following for you: + + cvsroot/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf + + The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you + can run the configure script in cvsroot/glib to create all + the Makefiles. + +Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool +in your path. + +Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass +options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options +to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure. + +Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must +subscribe before you post, e-mail gtk-list-request@redhat.com with a +subject of "subscribe").
