Installing from Source

After you've installed all of the dependencies, download the Cluttermm source code, unpack it, and change to the newly created directory. Cluttermm can be built and installed with the following sequence of commands:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

The configure script will check to make sure all of the required dependencies are already installed. If you are missing any dependencies it will exit and display an error.

By default, Cluttermm will be installed under the /usr/local directory.

If you want to help develop Cluttermm or experiment with new features, you can also install Cluttermm from SVN. Details are available at the gtkmm website.
