Hi, I am new to hacking on GTK3. One of the first big tasks was to build a GTK3 dev sandbox. Woah, a bit tough. Don't read that as a criticism of GTK in particular; newbies probably struggle with dev sandbox setup for all large, existing open source projects. I have been using open source for ages, but never tried hacking on existing projects.
I took very careful notes for the required steps. In particular, I was interested to make SCIM work with my dev sandbox so that I may test my GTK3 changes with Asian languages. In the end it was simpler than I expected, but finding the right env vars to tweak was the tough part. I would like to write a HOWTO doc to help other GTK3 newbie developers (like me) get started. What is the right place/format to do this? This area seems a good place to add my "dev sandbox HOWTO": http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/ I contributed to Subversion docs about two years ago. Many of their docs were hand-rolled HTML stored in the SVN repo for the Subversion project. All I needed to do was a checkout of trunk; modify the doc files; then submit a patch for review. Please let me know the procedure. Thanks, Kevin Connor ARPE Hongkong
