## Installation of libglade

Install libglade by running the following commands:

    sed -i '/DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED/d' glade/Makefile.in &&
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check. One of the tests, test-convert, is known to fail.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

sed -i '/DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED/d': Some of the glib functions that libglade uses were declared deprecated in glib-2.30. This sed removes the G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED CFLAG.

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-gtk-doc`: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.

## Contents

Installed Program: libglade-convert (requires python)
Installed Library: libglade-2.0.so
Installed Directories: /usr/{include/libglade-2.0/glade,share/{gtk-doc/html/libglade, xml/libglade}}
