gtk+-3.2.3
Introduction to gtk+-3
The gtk+-3 package contains
gtk+-3 libraries. These are used
for creating graphical user interfaces for applications.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0
platform.
Package Information
gtk+-3 Dependencies
Required
cairo-1.10.2 (compiled with support for glib and
libX11), atk-2.2.0, Pango-1.29.4, gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0
and X Window
System (specifically, libX11, libXext, libXi and libXrender are
required, libXinerama, libXcomposite, libXrandr and libXdamage are
optional)
Optional
Cups-1.5.0, DocBook-utils-0.6.14, Colord,
gobject-introspection-1.30.0 and
GTK-Doc-1.18 (only needed if you want to rebuild
the documentation).
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gtk3
Installation of gtk+-3
Install gtk+-3 by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make
To test the results:
rm tests/css/parser/selector.css &&
rm tests/a11y/pickers.ui &&
make check
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
rm
tests/css/parser/selector.css and rm tests/a11y/pickers.ui: This
prevents two tests being run as they are known to fail.
Configuring gtk+-3
Config Files
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and
/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
Configuration Information
Gtk+-3 themes change the way a gtk application looks. An icon
theme can be used to change the icons that appear on the
application's toolbar. If you have installed a Gtk+-3 theme (eg
gnome-themes-standard) or an icon theme (such as GNOME Icon Theme-2.30.3) you can
set your prefences in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:
cat > ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini << "EOF"
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
EOF
There are many more themes available at Gnome-Look.org and other places.
Once you've settled on themes you like, you can (as the
root user) make them the default
system wide:
cat > /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini << "EOF"[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Clearwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = elementary
EOF

Short Descriptions
|
gtk3-demo
|
is a simple program that demonstrates some of the things
that can be done with gtk+-3
|
|
gtk-query-immodules-3.0
|
collects information about loadable input method modules
for gtk+-3 and writes it
to the default cache file location, or to standard
output.
|
|
gtk-update-icon-cache
|
is an icon theme caching utility that creates mmap()able
cache files for icon themes.
|
|
libgailutil.so
|
contains functions that implements the accessibility
interfaces defined by the GNOME Accessibility Toolkit
|
|
libgdk-3.so
|
contains functions that act as a wrapper around the
low-level drawing and windowing functions provided by the
underlying graphics system (libX11 for now, but maybe in
the future wayland).
|
|
libgtk-3.so
|
contains functions that provide an API to implement
graphical user interfaces.
