You're going to find this is a matter of opinion. Traditionally, GTK+ and GNOME projects have used GNU autotools for their build system. Many are now moving to meson. Either way, I suggest you take some time and learn one or both in order to make an informed decision about which build system is best for you. Meson is relatively new, and has most of its documentation on its website[1]. GNU autotools has a vast online manual available[2], however I recommend reading "Autotools: A Practition's Guide to to GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool"[3] to get a hands-on understanding of the autotools suite. 1: http://mesonbuild.com/ 2: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/, etc. 3: https://www.nostarch.com/autotools.htm You could, of course, eschew all of those and use your own hand- maintained Makefile. You'll find varying levels of opinion there too, although you'll encounter some pretty compelling arguments against maintaining your own hand-crafted Makefiles anywhere you look. In this case, you could consider at least using pkg-config to find out whether your required libraries are installed and where they are located on your build host. > Is it feasible to define some environment variable and select GTK > version if it defined? > > Or there is a better alternative? > > Thank you. > _______________________________________________ > gtk-list mailing list > gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
