If you are interested in helping out with the development of <span class="application">gtkmm</span>, or
fixing a bug in <span class="application">gtkmm</span>, you'll probably need to build the development
version of <span class="application">gtkmm</span>. You don't want to install a development version over
your stable version, you want to install it alongside your existing <span class="application">gtkmm</span>
installation.
</p>
<p>
The easiest way to do this is using <a class="ulink" href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/unstable/" target="_top">jhbuild</a>.
<span class="application">jhbuild</span> is a program that makes building GNOME
software much easier by calculating dependencies and building things in the
correct order. This section will give a brief explanation of how to set up
jhbuild to build and install <span class="application">gtkmm</span> from svn. For up-to-date information
on <span class="application">jhbuild</span>, please refer to the <a class="ulink" href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/unstable/" target="_top">jhbuild manual</a>.
If you need assistance using <span class="application">jhbuild</span>, you should
ask for help on the <a class="ulink" href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love" target="_top">gnome-love
mailing list</a>.

Note that to build <span class="application">gtkmm</span> from svn, you'll need to build all of its
dependencies from svn as well. <span class="application">jhbuild</span> makes
this easier than it would normally be, but it will take quite a while to
build and install them all.

<p>
To set up <span class="application">jhbuild</span>, follow the basic
installation instructions from the <a class="ulink" href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/jhbuild/unstable/" target="_top">jhbuild manual</a>.
After you've gotten <span class="application">jhbuild</span> installed, you
should copy the sample <span class="application">jhbuild</span> configuration
file into your home directory by executing the following command from the
<span class="application">jhbuild</span> directory:
<span class="command"><strong>$ cp sample.jhbuildrc ~/.jhbuildrc</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
The <span class="application">gtkmm</span> module is defined in the GNOME moduleset (i.e.
<code class="filename">gnome-2.xx.modules</code>, so edit your
<code class="filename">.jhbuildrc</code> file and set your moduleset setting to the
latest version of GNOME like so:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">moduleset = 'gnome-2.16'</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
After setting the correct moduleset, you need to tell
<span class="application">jhbuild</span> which module or modules to build. To
build <span class="application">gtkmm</span> and all of its dependencies, set <code class="varname">modules</code>
like so: </p>
<pre class="programlisting">modules = [ 'gtkmm', ]</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You can build all GNOME C++ modules by setting the
<code class="varname">modules</code> variable to the meta-package named
<code class="literal">meta-gnome-c++</code> or build all of the core GNOME modules
with <code class="literal">meta-gnome-desktop</code>. The
<code class="varname">modules</code> variable specifies which modules that will be
built when you don't explicitly specify anything on the command line. You
can always build a different moduleset later by specifying it on the
commandline (e.g. <span class="command"><strong>jhbuild build gtkmm</strong></span>).
</p>

<th align="left">Setting a prefix</th>
</tr>
<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
By default, <span class="application">jhbuild</span>'s configuration is
configured to install all software built with
<span class="application">jhbuild</span> under the
<code class="filename">/opt/gnome2</code> prefix. You can choose a different
prefix, but it is recommended that you keep this prefix different from
other software that you've installed (don't set it to
<code class="filename">/usr</code>!) This way you can keep using your stable
versions without conflict and use the svn versions when you want to.
You may want to choose a prefix that your user account has write access
to so that you don't need to run <span class="application">jhbuild</span> as
<code class="literal">root</code>.
