GLib Dependencies

Required

libffi-3.0.13, pkg-config-0.28 and Python-2.7.5

Recommended

PCRE-8.33 (built with Unicode properties)

Optional

attr-2.4.47, D-Bus-1.6.12 (required to run the tests) and GTK-Doc-1.19

Additional Runtime Dependencies

Quoted directly from the INSTALL file; “Some of the mimetype-related functionality in GIO requires the update-mime-database and update-desktop-database utilities”, which are part of shared-mime-info-1.1 and desktop-file-utils-0.21, respectively.

Installation of GLib

Install GLib by running the following commands:

touch -t 201306082300 gtk-doc.make           && 

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pcre=system && 

make

The GLib test suite requires desktop-file-utils in order to run. However, desktop-file-utils requires GLib in order to compile; therefore, you must first install GLib and then run the test suite.
Now, as the root user:

make install

Python-2.7.5

First install some dependencies: sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev Then download using the following command:   cd ~/Downloads/ wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/Python-2.7.5.tgz Extract and go to the dirctory: tar -xvf Python-2.7.5.tgz cd Python-2.7.5 Now, install using the command you just tried:   ./configure make sudo make altinstall   ref http://askubuntu.com/questions/101591/how-do-i-install-python-2-7-2-on-ubuntu  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction to pkg-config The pkg-config package contains a tool for passing the include path and/or library paths to build tools during the configure and make file execution. This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.3 platform. Note Pkg-config is part of LFS, but was omitted from the 7.0 and 7.1 releases. If you are using a system which includes it, there is nothing more to do. If not, you should follow these instructions.
