+        On UNIX, GLib uses the standard GNU build system,
+        using <span class="application">autoconf</span> for package
+        configuration and resolving portability issues,
+        <span class="application">automake</span> for building makefiles
+        that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
+        <span class="application">libtool</span> for building shared
+        libraries on multiple platforms.  The normal sequence for
+        compiling and installing the GLib library is thus:
+        </p>
+<div class="literallayout"><p><br>
+          <strong class="userinput"><code>./configure</code></strong><br>

+        </p></div>
+<p>
+      </p>
+<p>
+        The standard options provided by <span class="application">GNU

+        Before you can compile the GLib library, you need to have

+        differentiated from the tools used in when creating GLib
+        mentioned above such as <span class="application">autoconf</span>)
+        are <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config</strong></span> and GNU make.

+	    <a class="ulink" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/" target="_top">pkg-config</a>
+	    is a tool for tracking the compilation flags needed for

+            installed in a standard location that contains the compilation
+            flags needed for that library along with version number
+            information.)  The version of <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config</strong></span>
+            needed to build GLib is mirrored in the

+<p>
+	  The <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/" target="_top">GNU
+	  libiconv library</a> is needed to build GLib if your
+	  system doesn't have the <code class="function">iconv()</code>
+	  function for doing conversion between character
+	  encodings. Most modern systems should have
+	  <code class="function">iconv()</code>, however many older systems lack
+	  an <code class="function">iconv()</code> implementation. On such systems,
+	  you must install the libiconv library. This can be found at:
+	  <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv" target="_top">http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv</a>.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	  If your system has an <code class="function">iconv()</code> implementation but
+	  you want to use libiconv instead, you can pass the
+	  --with-libiconv option to configure. This forces
+	  libiconv to be used.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	  Note that if you have libiconv installed in your default include
+	  search path (for instance, in <code class="filename">/usr/local/</code>), but
+	  don't enable it, you will get an error while compiling GLib because
+	  the <code class="filename">iconv.h</code> that libiconv installs hides the
+	  system iconv.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	  If you are using the native iconv implementation on Solaris
+	  instead of libiconv, you'll need to make sure that you have
+	  the converters between locale encodings and UTF-8 installed.
+	  At a minimum you'll need the SUNWuiu8 package. You probably
+	  should also install the SUNWciu8, SUNWhiu8, SUNWjiu8, and
+	  SUNWkiu8 packages.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	  The native iconv on Compaq Tru64 doesn't contain support for
+	  UTF-8, so you'll need to use GNU libiconv instead. (When
+	  using GNU libiconv for GLib, you'll need to use GNU libiconv
+	  for GNU gettext as well.) This probably applies to related
+	  operating systems as well.

+         The default is 'minimum'.
+         Note that 'no' is fast, but dangerous as it tends to destabilize
+         even mostly bug-free software by changing the effect of many bugs
+         from simple warnings into fatal crashes. Thus

+	  By default, and with <code class="systemitem">--disable-gc-friendly</code>
+	  as well, Glib does not clear the memory for certain objects before they
+	  are freed.  For example, Glib may decide to recycle GList nodes by
+	  putting them in a free list.  However, memory profiling and debugging tools like <a class="ulink" href="http://www.valgrind.org" target="_top">Valgrind</a> work better if an
+	  application does not keep dangling pointers to freed memory (even
+	  though these pointers are no longer dereferenced), or invalid pointers inside
+	  uninitialized memory.   The
+	  <code class="systemitem">--enable-gc-friendly</code> option makes Glib clear

+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">

+          to auto-detect whether the getxattr() family of functions
+          is available. If it is, then extended attribute support
+          will be included in GIO. These options can be used to
+          explicitly control whether extended attribute support
+          should be included or not. getxattr() and friends can

+          GLib applications). This can be used in operating system setups where
+          programs using GLib needs to run before e.g. <code class="filename">/usr</code>
+          is mounted.
+          For example, if LIBDIR is <code class="filename">/usr/lib</code> and
+          <code class="filename">../../lib</code> is passed to
+          <code class="systemitem">--with-runtime-libdir</code> then the

+          than <code class="filename">/usr/lib</code>.

+<p>
+GLib changed the seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random number
+generator Mersenne Twister, as used by <span class="structname">GRand</span>
+and <span class="structname">GRandom</span>. This was necessary, because some
+seeds would yield very bad pseudo-random streams. Also the
+pseudo-random integers generated by
+<code class="function">g_rand*_int_range()</code> will have a
+slightly better equal distribution with the new version of GLib.
+</p>
+<p>
+Further information can be found at the website of the Mersenne
+Twister random number generator at <a class="ulink" href="http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html" target="_top">http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+The original seeding and generation algorithms, as found in GLib
+2.0.x, can be used instead of the new ones by setting the environment
+variable <code class="envar">G_RANDOM_VERSION</code> to the value of '2.0'. Use
+the GLib-2.0 algorithms only if you have sequences of numbers generated
+with Glib-2.0 that you need to reproduce exactly.

+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
+<li class="listitem">
+<p>
+The event loop functionality <span class="structname">GMain</span> has extensively
+been revised to support multiple separate main loops in separate threads.
+All sources (timeouts, idle functions, etc.) are associated with a
+<span class="structname">GMainContext</span>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Compatibility functions exist so that most application code dealing with
+the main loop will continue to work. However, code that creates new custom
+types of sources will require modification.
+</p>
+<p>
+The main changes here are:
+  </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle">
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   Sources are now exposed as <span class="type">GSource *</span>, rather than simply as
+   numeric ids.
+  </p></li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   New types of sources are created by structure "derivation" from
+   <span class="structname">GSource</span>, so the <code class="literal">source_data</code>
+   parameter to the <span class="structname">GSource</span> virtual functions has been
+   replaced with a <span class="type">GSource *</span>.
+  </p></li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   Sources are first created, then later added to a specific
+   <span class="structname">GMainContext</span>.
+  </p></li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   Dispatching has been modified so both the callback and data are passed
+   in to the <code class="function">dispatch()</code> virtual function.
+  </p></li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+  To go along with this change, the vtable for
+  <span class="structname">GIOChannel</span> has changed and
+  <code class="function">add_watch()</code> has been replaced by
+  <code class="function">create_watch()</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li class="listitem">
+<p>
+<code class="function">g_list_foreach()</code> and
+<code class="function">g_slist_foreach()</code> have been changed so they
+are now safe against removal of the current item, not the next item.
+</p>
+<p>
+It's not recommended to mutate the list in the callback to these
+functions in any case.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+<span class="structname">GDate</span> now works in UTF-8, not in the current locale.
+If you want to use it with the encoding of the locale, you need to convert
+strings using <code class="function">g_locale_to_utf8()</code> first.
+</p></li>
+<li class="listitem">
+<p>
+<code class="function">g_strsplit()</code> has been fixed to:
+  </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle">
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   include trailing empty tokens, rather than stripping them
+  </p></li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+   split into a maximum of <code class="literal">max_tokens</code> tokens, rather
+   than <code class="literal">max_tokens + 1</code>
+  </p></li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+  Code depending on either of these bugs will need to be fixed.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>
+Deprecated functions that got removed:
+<code class="function">g_set_error_handler()</code>,
+<code class="function">g_set_warning_handler()</code>,
+<code class="function">g_set_message_handler()</code>, use
+<code class="function">g_log_set_handler()</code> instead.
