gtk-bootstrap

Build GTK from source

Prerequisites

Some of the dependencies you can install from your distribution's packages:

• libegl1-mesa-dev
• libfreetype6-dev
• libpng-dev
• libxml-parser-perl
• libxtst-dev
• xutils-dev

Building

> ./bootstrap.sh manifest.txt

It will build and install everything into $HOME/local.

Note: pkg-config uses absolute paths in its manifests so if you relocate the files later, you'll have to fix the prefix path in the local/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc files.

Using

Don't forget to clean up any crates built without the PKG_CONFIG_PATH override. cargo can't check that for you.

> cargo clean
> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/local"
> cargo build

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/local/lib"
cargo run

Note: an older multirust version might clobber the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, you can test if that is the case like this:

> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=XtestX multirust run stable sh -c 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH' | grep -q XtestX && echo OK
