## Installation of Gtkmm

Install Gtkmm by running the following commands:

    mkdir gtkmm3-build &&
    cd    gtkmm3-build &&

    meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test. Note that you must be in a graphical environment, as the tests try to open some windows.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

If you have built the documentation (see Command Explanations below) it was installed to `/usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.0`. For consistency, move it to a versioned directory as the `root` user:

    mv -v /usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.0 /usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.24.5

## Command Explanations

`-Dbuild-documentation=true`: If you have installed Doxygen-1.9.3 this define will build and install the documentation.
