Re: compiling and using GNOME on non-linux systems: mailing list?

[Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi ira uka de>]

I regulary (every night) build gnome on my sparc-sun-solaris2.5.

I've installed the following software. It is in the path before the
system-software:

gawk-3.0.3 unzip-5.32 zip-2.2 db-2.4.14 zlib-1.1.2 xpm-3.4k
libpng-1.0.1 tiff-v3.4 libungif-3.0 jpeg-6b NewXLibs
egcs-1.1b binutils-2.9 autoconf automake-1.3 libtool-1.2
make flex guile-1.2 gmp-2.0.2 cvs-1.9.22 stow texinfo-3.12
gettext-0.10.32 indent-1.9.1

it might not be necessary to install all, but if you do, you have a better
system anyway ;-). Then I just compile and install the following
CVS-modules in the given order:

glib gtk+ imlib ORBit gnome-libs mozilla libgtop gtop
gnome-http gnome-core gnome-objc gnome-games gnome-utils mc
gnome-admin ee gnome-media gnome-network gnome-xml gnumeric

and most of the time it works pretty well. yup, I know glibtop (and thus
gtop) is not very sensible on sparc as for now, but i just want to make
sure it compiles anyway.

Hope that helps.
Bye
Sebastian
