Compilation and Installation

Using Meson

meson [configure-options] build
ninja -C build
ninja -C build install

From a Source Package Using Autotools

./configure [configure-options]
make
make install

From git Using Autotools

./autogen.sh [configure-options]
make
make install

The doc/reference/* and examples/* don't install by default so you might like to copy them somewhere.

Support for using Glade generated user interfaces is very old and I'd rather not encourage folk to create Gtkdialog applications in this way.

VTE

Gtkdialog's configure script will compile-in support for the Virtual Terminal Emulator if it finds libvte and its development headers. libvte source package -> http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vte/

ARM

A problem was encountered when compiling on the ARM platform whereby the widgets were being packed in the wrong order and I have applied a fix for this wrapped in an #ifdef arm preprocessor macro in automaton.c.
