Requirements
============
+GLib-2.0 requires pkg-config, which is tool for tracking the
+compilation flags needed for libraries. (For each library, a small .pc
+text file is installed in a standard location that contains the
+compilation flags needed for that library along with version number
+information.) Information about pkg-config can be found at:
+
+ http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
+
+GNU make (http://www.gnu.org/software/make) is also recommended.
+
In order to implement conversions between character sets,
GLib requires an implementation of the standard iconv() routine.
Most modern systems will have a suitable implementation, however
many older systems lack an iconv() implementation. On such systems,
you must install the libiconv library. This can be found at:
- http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
If your system has an iconv implementation but you want to use
libiconv instead, you can pass the --with-libiconv option to
it, you will get an error while compiling GTK+ because the
iconv.h that libiconv installs hides the system iconv.
+Finally, for message catalog handling, GTK+ requires an implementation
+of gettext(). If your system doesn't provide this functionality,
+you should use the libintl library from the GNU gettext package,
+available from:
+
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
+
The Nitty-Gritty
================
One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
- $exec_pref/lib/glib/include/
+ $exec_prefix/lib/glib/include/
if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
and should be deleted.
-A shell script glib-config is created during the configure
-process, and installed in the bin/ directory
-($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of glib
-when building applications. If you move glib after installation,
-it will be necessary to edit this file.
+.pc files for the various libraries are installed in
+$exec_prefix/lib/pkgconfig to provide information when compiling
+other packages that depend on GTK+. If you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+so that it points to this directory, then you can get the
+correct include flags and library flags for compiling a GLib
+application with:
+
+ pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
+ pkg-config --libs glib-2.0

- *** IMPORTANT ***
-
-This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable
-version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This
-version is meant for developers of GLib only:
-
- * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib.
- * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib.
-
-*** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. ***

General Information
===================
-This is GLib version @GLIB_VERSION@. GLib is a library which includes support
-routines for C such as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and
-many other things.
+This is GLib version @GLIB_VERSION@. GLib is the low-level core
+library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It
+provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and
+interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads,
+dynamic loading, and an object system.
The official ftp site is:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
See the file 'INSTALL'
+Notes about GLib-2.0.0
+======================
+
+* On systems without the libintl from GNU gettext() or a recent version
+ of the GNU C library, the encoding of translated error messages will be
+ incorrect (they should be in UTF-8). A workaround for this is to install
+ GNU gettext and use that libintl. This is expected to be fixed in GLib-2.0.1.
+ Application programmers should not call g_locale_to_utf8() on these
+ strings.
+
+* The results of g_strerror() are currently in the encoding of the locale
+ rather than in UTF-8. Again, this is a bug, and not behavior that
+ should be relied upon.
+
+* Similarly, the GLib error logging functions such as g_print(), g_warning(),
+ g_error(), currently do not convert the strings they are passed from
+ UTF-8 to the encoding of the locale, or check that the strings they
+ are passed are valid UTF-8. They should, despite this, be assumed to take
+ UTF-8 arguments.
+
