If you want to hack on the GTK+ project, you'll need to have the development
|
||||
tools appropriate for your operating system, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- Python (2.7 or 3.x)
|
||||
- Meson
|
||||
- Ninja
|
||||
- Gettext (19.7 or newer)
|
||||
- a C99 compatible compiler
|
||||
|
||||

In order to get Git GTK+ installed on your system, you need to have the
|
||||
required versions of all the GTK+ dependencies; typically, this means a
|
||||
recent version of GLib, Cairo, Pango, and ATK.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: if you plan to push changes to back to the master repository and
|
||||
have a GNOME account, you want to use the following instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ git clone ssh://<username>@git.gnome.org/git/gtk+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the Git version of GTK+ on your system, you will need to
|
||||
configure your build using Meson:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ meson _builddir .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For information about submitting patches and pushing changes to Git, see the
|
||||
`README.md` and `README.commits` files. In particular, don't, under any
|
||||
circumstances, push anything to Git before reading and understanding
|
||||
`README.commmits`.
