Optional User Notes: Installation of GLib Install GLib by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations --disable-static: prevent static libraries being built and installed. Configuring GLib Configuration Information By default, GLib assumes that all filenames are in the UTF-8 charset. See the section of the page for more details on this kind of issue. In order to tell GLib and applications that use it that filenames are in the default locale encoding, set the variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING to the value "@locale": cat > /etc/profile.d/glib2-locale.sh << "EOF" # Use the current locale charset for filenames # in applications using GLib export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale EOF Contents Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories glib-genmarshal, glib-gettextize, glib-mkenums, and gobject-query libglib-2.0.so, libgobject-2.0.so, libgmodule-2.0.so, and libgthread-2.0.so /usr/include/glib-2.0, /usr/lib/glib-2.0, /usr/share/glib-2.0, /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib, and /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject Short Descriptions glib-genmarshal is a C code marshaller generation utility for GLib closures. glib-genmarshal glib-gettextize is a variant of the gettext internationalization utility. glib-gettextize glib-mkenums is a C language enum description generation utility. glib-mkenums gobject-query is a small utility that draws a tree of types. gobject-query GLib libraries contain a low-level core library for the GIMP Toolkit.
