Compilation and installation of GTK+ packages and libraries.
About¶
This chapter describes the installation and configuration of GTK libraries on SliTaz used by lots of free software. Note that you can simply compile and create a SliTaz package that you can install on demand with tazpkg.
The compilation of GTK applications can take quite some time and you must meet many dependencies. You will find a guide in English: gtk-building.html on developer.gnome.org. This document sets out the need to compile things in order: Glib, Pango, ATK and GTK+, etc. Before commencing you must verify that the dependencies are properly installed on your host system. Glib, Pango, ATK and GTK+ form a group of packages and are distributed by the team of GTK developers.
Environmental variable ($fs)
If you do not specify any path to the rootfs directory, export the environmental variable:
# export fs=$PWD/rootfs
To check:
# echo $fs
cairo-1.2.6 — 2D graphics library¶
We begin with libcairo (http://www.cairographics.org/) used to compile pango:
# cd src
# wget http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.2.6.tar.gz
# tar xzf cairo-1.2.6.tar.gz
# cd cairo-1.2.6
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-html-dir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/*.so*
Install in rootfs
# cp -av _pkg/usr/lib/*.so* $fs/usr/lib
glib-2.12.4 — C routines¶
# cd ..
# wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.12/glib-2.12.4.tar.bz2
# tar xjf glib-2.12.4.tar.bz2
# cd glib-2.12.4
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-html-dir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
# strip -v _pkg/usr/bin/*
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/*.so*
Install in rootfs
Option: the utilities glib-genmarshal and gobject-query need the /lib/tls/librt.so.1:
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/*.so* $fs/usr/lib
# cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
The binaries and options:
# cp -a _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin
pango-1.14.8 — Library for layout and rendering of text¶
# cd ..
# wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/pango/1.14/pango-1.14.8.tar.bz2
# tar xjf pango-1.14.8.tar.bz2
# cd pango-1.14.8
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-html-dir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
# strip -v _pkg/usr/bin/*
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/*.so*
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/pango/1.5.0/modules/*
Install in rootfs
# cp -a _pkg/usr/bin/* $fs/usr/bin
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/*.so* $fs/usr/lib
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/pango $fs/usr/lib
# rm -rf $fs/usr/lib/pango/1.5.0/modules/*.la
# cp -a _pkg/etc $fs
Create /etc/pango.modules via chroot in the rootfs (pango-querymodules uses librt.so.1):
# chroot $fs /bin/ash
/# pango-querymodules > /etc/pango/pango.modules
# exit
atk-1.12.4 — Accessibility toolkit¶
# cd ..
# wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.12/atk-1.12.4.tar.bz2
# tar xjf atk-1.12.4.tar.bz2
# cd atk-1.12.4
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-html-dir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/*.so*
Install in rootfs
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/*.so* $fs/usr/lib
# cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
gtk+-2.8.20 — The GIMP Toolkit¶
# cd ..
# wget ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/gtk+-2.8.20.tar.bz2
# tar xjf gtk+-2.8.20.tar.bz2
# cd gtk+-2.8.20
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-html-dir=/usr/share/doc
# make
# make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
# strip -v _pkg/usr/bin/*
# strip -v _pkg/usr/lib/*.so*
# strip -v --strip-unneeded \
_pkg/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/*/*
Install in rootfs
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/*.so* $fs/usr/lib
# mkdir $fs/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
# cp -a _pkg/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0 $fs/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
# rm -rf $fs/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/*/*.la
Locale and themes:
# cp -a _pkg/usr/share/locale/fr $fs/usr/share/locale
# cp -a _pkg/usr/share/themes $fs/usr/share
The applications:
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 $fs/usr/bin
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache $fs/usr/bin
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-csource $fs/usr/bin
# cp _pkg/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders $fs/usr/bin
...
For the gtk-demo application:
# cp -a _pkg/usr/bin/gtk-demo $fs/usr/bin
# cp -a _pkg/usr/share/gtk-2.0 $fs/usr/share
Create files /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules and gdk-pixbuf.loaders via a chroot in the rootfs:
# chroot $fs /bin/ash
/# mkdir /etc/gtk-2.0
/# gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
/# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
# exit
At this stage you can test GTK+ with the gtk-demo application by creating an ISO and using qemu. You can also compile a small GTK application such as LeafPad and test! The compiliation and installation of GTK+ applications distributed by default with SliTaz are described in the next chapter GTK+ Applications.
Generate the initramfs and an ISO image¶
To create a new ISO image, you can use mktaziso in SliTaz Tools.
Or you can create a new initramfs image, copy it to /boot in the root of the CD-ROM (rootcd) and finally generate an ISO image with genisoimage:
# cd $fs
# find . -print | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../rootfs.gz
# cd ..
# cp rootfs.gz rootcd/boot
# genisoimage -R -o slitaz-cooking.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-V "SliTaz" -boot-info-table rootcd
