%general-entities; ]> gdk-pixbuf The Gdk Pixbuf package is a toolkit for image loading and pixel buffer manipulation. It is used by GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 to load and manipulate images. In the past it was distributed as part of GTK+ 2 but it was split off into a separate package in preparation for the change to GTK+ 3. &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gdk-pixbuf-md5sum; Download size: &gdk-pixbuf-size; Estimated disk space required: &gdk-pixbuf-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gdk-pixbuf-time; Gdk Pixbuf Dependencies Required , , , and Recommended , (runtime dependency, needed for loading symbolic icons) and Optional (Required if building GNOME) Optional (to generate documentation), (runtime dependency, needed for loading AVIF images), and (runtime dependency, needed for loading WebP images) Install Gdk Pixbuf by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ --wrap-mode=nofallback && ninja If you have installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue: sed "/docs_dir =/s@\$@ / 'gdk-pixbuf-&gdk-pixbuf-version;'@" -i ../docs/meson.build && meson configure -Dgtk_doc=true && ninja To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests make a heavy use of disk. Now, as the root user: ninja install If you installed the package on to your system using a DESTDIR method, an important file was not installed and should be copied and/or generated. Generate it using the following command as the root user: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache -Dman=false: Use this option if you do not want to generate manual pages, or if you do not want to install .
