GtkSourceView
=============

This is version 3.99.5 of GtkSourceView.

GtkSourceView is a text widget that extends the standard GTK+ text widget
GtkTextView.

It improves GtkTextView by implementing syntax highlighting and other
features typical of a source code editor.

The GtkSourceView library is free software and is released under the terms of
the GNU Lesser General Public License.

About GtkSourceView 4, GtkSourceView 5 and GTK+ 4
-------------------------------------------------

See:

    https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView/RoadMap
    https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView/TransitionToGtkSourceView4

Dependencies
------------

* GLib >= 2.48
* GTK+ >= 3.20
* libxml2 >= 2.6

Installation
------------

Simple install procedure:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  [ Become root if necessary ]
  $ make install

See the file 'INSTALL' for more detailed information.

From the Git repository, the 'configure' script and the 'INSTALL' file are not
yet generated, so you need to run 'autogen.sh' instead, which takes the same
arguments as 'configure'.

To build the latest version of GtkSourceView from Git, Jhbuild can be used:
