I am having issues with installing GTK+ 3.22
on my laptop.
At first I tried downloading GTK
and all its dependencies from here.
I ran ./configure && make && sudo make install
to install the libraries above, but that did not work. I had a lot of undefined references and icons were missing so I uninstalled all the libraries.
After that I tried installing GTK
again and made sure that I have every dependency installed correctly (even sub-dependencies). This time however I ran ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
to install the libraries because I was following this guide.
The above broke my system completely, I couldn't do anything so I had to resort to safe-mode and reinstall the old GTK available on the apt repositories.
My question is, how can I install GTK+ 3.22
and make sure it works properly?
I am using Debian 8.
opt
folder allow me to have more than one version of gtk? If so, won't there be conflicts?
