Downloading

You should use the binary packages provided for your operating system unless you wish to test the latest versions. However, source packages are available as well.

This page mentions gtkmm 4 binary packages. To find corresponding gtkmm 3 packages, in most cases just change “4” to “3”.

Binary

You might find a variety of 3rd party RPMs and debs on the internet, but only the ones listed here are approved by the gtkmm team. Please encourage your Linux distribution to provide official gtkmm packages.

  • Debian GNU/Linux: 
    apt-get install libgtkmm-4.0-dev
    These project pages might give status.
  • Fedora/RedHat Linux: Use 
    yum install gtkmm4.0-devel
    to get the runtime and development packages.
  • Gentoo Linux: Get dev-cpp/gtkmm.
  • SuSE Linux: Use yast to install gtkmm4-devel.
  • Ubuntu Linux: 
    apt-get install libgtkmm-4.0-dev
  • Windows: Here is a (somewhat outdated) description how to install on Windows. There are links to several README files in the Gtkmm tutorial, chapter gtkmm and Win32.
  • IBM AIX, HP-UX, Redhat Enterprise Linux, Solaris (gcc or the platform compilers): The Written Word offers binary gtkmm packages, with package management (probably only gtkmm2).

Please tell us about others.
