Note that glib build-depends on pkg-config, +but you can just set the corresponding environment variables (ZLIB_LIBS, +ZLIB_CFLAGS are the only needed ones when this is written) to build it. + +pkg-config also either needs an earlier version of itself to find glib +or you need to set GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to the correct values for +where it's installed in your system. + +If this requirement is too cumbersome, a bundled copy of a recent glib +stable release is included. Pass --with-internal-glib to configure to +use this copy. + +If you're cross-compiling and you need to build the bundled glib, refer +to the glib documentation for cross-compiling glib. In short, this will +require setting some autoconf cache variables in cases where glib would +need to run a program to determine the correct value. See the glib +documentation: + +http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-cross-compiling.html + +If you need to use the bundled glib on Mac OS X, you'll most likely need +to build for a single architecture rather than as a universal binary. +This is because glib (as of version 2.32) does not support building for +multiple architectures out of the box. The glib2 from MacPorts or +Homebrew may be available as a universal binary and usable for +pkg-config as described above. Nothing in pkg-config itself precludes +being built as a universal binary. |
