gtkmm and its dependencies can be built and installed with the following sequence of commands:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

On some systems you will need to install to a different location. For instance, on Red Hat Linux systems you might use the --prefix option with configure, like so:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr

The configure script will warn you if you have not installed any of the other packages that it needs.

On Debian GNU/Linux, gtkmm 2.0 is available in unstable/sid. You can install gtkmm by typing this on the command-line:

apt-get install libgtkmm2.0-dev

If you use stable/woody however, you'll have to compile gtkmm2 yourself.

RedHat do not yet provide RPMs of gtkmm. We hope they will do this soon.

TODO. gtkmm is in the betas.
