Introduction to Clutter

The Clutter package contains an open source software library used for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical user interfaces.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.2 platform.

[Note]

Note

Anything built with this toolkit needs hardware 3D acceleration from the graphics driver at runtime. This is provided by MesaLib (or by proprietary graphics drivers), but is not available for every graphics card nor for all virtual machines. You may wish to review Checking the DRI installation.

Installation of Clutter

Install Clutter by running the following commands:
