Software summary: A storage space for GIR interface description files.
The package's installation process is straightforward. Begin by navigating to the directory that contains the package's source code. Configure the package for your system by typing "./configure." If necessary, you may have to type "sh ./configure" if using "csh" on an old version of System V to prevent "csh" from executing "configure" itself. Running "configure" may take some time and print messages indicating which features it is checking for.
After configuring, type "make" to compile the package. "make check" is an optional command that runs any self-tests that come with the package. You can install the programs, documentation, and data files by typing "make install." If necessary, you can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing "make clean." To delete the files that "configure" created (enabling you to compile the package for a different computer), you can use "make distclean."
Finally, the tool offers a "make maintainer-clean" target, specifically designed for the package's developers. If you use it, you may need to obtain additional programs to regenerate the files that came with the distribution. Overall, GIR repository offers a useful and comprehensive collection of interface description files, making it an essential tool for developers.
