Introduction to Gtkmm

The Gtkmm package provides a C++ interface to GTK+ 2. It can be installed alongside Gtkmm-3.18.0 (the GTK+ 3 version) with no namespace conflicts.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.9 platform.

Installation of Gtkmm

First, fix the documents directory name: 

sed -e '/^libdocdir =/ s/$(book_name)/gtkmm-2.24.4/' \
    -i docs/Makefile.in

Install Gtkmm by running the following commands: 

CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=c++11" ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=c++11" ./configure...: while Gtkmm-2.24.4 has not yet been ported to the 2011 ISO C++ standard, all its dependencies have. -std=c++11 has to be used as an option to g++. We pass it into CXXFLAGS together with the default options.
