Grub Customizer

fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory

Asked by Tanmay Naik

I'm using Kali Linux. I'm new to linux. I tried to install grub customizer. But when I run cmake .&& make I get following error:

-- checking for module 'gtkmm-2.4'
-- package 'gtkmm-2.4' not found

I looked up internet but couldn't solve it. Thanks in advance!

You can either use a graphical package manager or you run sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-3.0-dev (and do the same for the other packages you need).
