     30        GtkImageView can also be built using the build tool <ulink src 
     31        = "http://code.google.com/p/waf/">waf</ulink>. The waf binary 
     32        is distributed with GtkImageView, so the only prerequisite to 
     33        using it is that <ulink src = 
     34        "http://www.python.org/">Python</ulink> 2.4 or later is 
     35        installed. Waf is the offically preferred way to build 
     36        GtkImageView with, so please try it out. Autotools still works 
     37        ofcourse. 
     38      </para> 
     39      <para> 
     40        These commands builds and installs GtkImageView with waf: 
     41        <literallayout> 
     42          <userinput>$ ./waf configure # Add --enable-gtk-doc to build the documentation</userinput> 
     43          <userinput>$ ./waf build</userinput> 
     44          <userinput>$ ./waf install</userinput> 
     45        </literallayout> 
     46        The test programs and demos are built by specifying specific 
     47        build targets to <command>waf build</command>: 
     48        <literallayout> 
     49          <userinput>$ ./waf build demos # Builds demos</userinput> 
     50          <userinput>$ ./waf build tests # Builds tests</userinput> 
     51        </literallayout> 
     52        All the binaries are, by default, placed in 
     53        the <filename>build/default/tests</filename>. 
     54      </para>
