Description</h1>
<p>glibmm is the official C++ interface for the popular cross-platform library Glib. It provides non-UI API that is not available in standard C++ and makes it possible for gtkmm to wrap GObject-based APIs. See also the <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/">Programming with gtkmm</a> book for a tutorial on programming with gtkmm and glibmm.</p>

<h1><a class="anchor" id="basics"></a>
Basic Usage</h1>
<p>Include the glibmm header, plus giomm if necessary: </p><div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#include <glibmm.h></span></div>
<div class="line"><span class="preprocessor">#include <giomm.h></span></div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p> (You may include individual headers, such as <code>glibmm/ustring.h</code> instead.)</p>
<p>If your source file is <code>program.cc</code>, you can compile it with: </p><div class="fragment"><div class="line">g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4`</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p>Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in <code>configure.ac:</code> </p><div class="fragment"><div class="line">PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GLIBMM], [glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4])</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p> Then use the generated <code>GLIBMM_CFLAGS</code> and <code>GLIBMM_LIBS</code> variables in the project Makefile.am files. For example: </p><div class="fragment"><div class="line">program_CPPFLAGS = $(GLIBMM_CFLAGS)</div>
<div class="line">program_LDADD = $(GLIBMM_LIBS)</div>
