Building Gtk requires sudo password #471

Open Gregstrq opened 4 years ago

Gregstrq commented 4 years ago

I am trying to install Gtk.jl on a machine for which I don't have any sudo privileges. However, the build step requires me to enter sudo password. I've encountered it in julia v1.1 and julia v1.0.5.

Is it possible to install Gtk.jl without sudo access? Libgtk 2 and 3 are already installed on the machine.

If you can use Julia 1.3, installing Gtk.jl won't require any sudo password, just some patience loading the package :slightly_smiling_face:
