There are also more +detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the +use of these flags is not tested. + +One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent +include file glibconfig.h is installed in: + + $exec_pref/lib/glib/include/ + +if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date +and should be deleted.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. + |
