<a name="building"></a><h2>Building the Library on UNIX</h2>
<p>
On UNIX, Seed uses the standard GNU build system,
using <span class="application">autoconf</span> for package
configuration and resolving portability issues,
<span class="application">automake</span> for building makefiles
that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
<span class="application">libtool</span> for building shared
libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for
compiling and installing Seed is thus:
</p>
<div class="literallayout"><p><br>
<strong class="userinput"><code>./configure</code></strong><br>
<strong class="userinput"><code>make</code></strong><br>
<strong class="userinput"><code>make install</code></strong><br>
</p></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The standard options provided by <span class="application">GNU
autoconf</span> may be passed to the
<span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> script. Please see the
<span class="application">autoconf</span> documentation or run
<span class="command"><strong>./configure --help</strong></span> for information about
the standard options.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="dependencies"></a><h2>Dependencies</h2>
<p>
Before you can compile Seed, you need to have
various external libraries installed on your system.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
The <a class="ulink" href="http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection" target="_top">gobject-introspection library</a> is necessary to build Seed. It provides the bridge between Seed and many GObject-based libraries.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://webkit.org" target="_top">WebKit</a> provides the JavaScriptCore interpreter, which is fundamental to Seed's ability to execute JavaScript. Seed requires a WebKit SVN revision newer than 35442. Keep in mind that some builds between this and HEAD still won't work with Seed, and performance has only improved, so try to keep an up-to-date version of WebKit if you're planning on working with Seed.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html" target="_top">readline</a> is used by the Seed REPL in order to communicate with the user.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://sourceware.org/libffi/" target="_top">libffi</a> provides Seed with an interface to call into C libraries at runtime.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-js-common/" target="_top">gnome-js-common</a> includes a battery of tests against both Seed and GJS, and also provides numerous libraries of JavaScript functions, including JSON manipulation and various language extensions.
</p></li>
</ul></div>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="moddependencies"></a><h2>Module Dependencies</h2>
<p>
Seed ships with a number of native modules which provide access to libraries which help with development but are not able to be introspected. Some of these modules depend on external libraries, and Seed's configuration will fail if they are not installed; if you wish to build Seed without a module for which you do not have the underlying library installed, check the Extra Configuration Options section of this document.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://cairographics.org/" target="_top">Cairo</a> provides access to fast 2D graphics and numerous different types of output, including drawing to the screen, to an image, to a PDF, etc.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus" target="_top">DBus</a> enables Seed to manipulate the various message busses, and provides communication between applications.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/" target="_top">gettext</a> is a common library used for internationalization support.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://xmlsoft.org/" target="_top">libxml2</a> provides a powerful XML parsing interface.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.mpfr.org/" target="_top">mpfr</a> provides multiple-precision arithmetic.
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.sqlite.org/" target="_top">sqlite3</a> provides straightforward read-write access to on-disk SQL databases.
</p></li>
</ul></div>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="optdependencies"></a><h2>Optional Dependencies</h2>
<p>
Seed's library of examples utilizes many other GObject projects which Seed does not strictly depend on, and will not be enumerated here. Introspection data for these projects may either be found within the projects themselves, or in the <a class="ulink" href="http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection" target="_top">gir-repository</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="extra-configuration-options"></a><h2>Extra Configuration Options</h2>
<p>

<span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> script in the Seed
