## Unix and Linux

### From Source

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.

### Prebuilt Packages

#### Debian GNU/Linux

On Debian GNU/Linux, gtkmm 2.4 is available in unstable/sid. You can install gtkmm by typing this on the command-line:

    apt-get install libgtkmm2.4-dev

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

#### Red Hat Linux

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

#### Mandrake Linux

TODO. gtkmm is in the betas.
