RedHat 7.3 | Gnome 2.0

(1/3) > >>

TheLizardKing:
I have a fresh install of RH7.3 with no current desktop.  I would like to install Gnome 2.0 and not spend 5 hours compiling it but if thats what I came down to, I could very well do it.  Also I would like to avoid using Ximians Red Carpet Service but once again, I can do it if I run out of choices.

How would I go about installing Gnome 2.0 without Ximian and Compiling it myself?

choasmaster:
garnome would probably automate the build process, but im getting ready to build it and some gnome 1.4 libs for ChoasNETOS, the only problem i had was taht sawfish 2 wouldn't compile, and it was cuase a broken makefile, so i used metacity

TheLizardKing:
Garnome, The bleed edge in Gnome Development.  I'll give it a shot and another thing.  Would it be possible to turn off the Inline Post Thing?  When you reply, it just takes the page and slaps it in some frames where if you turn it off, to the appropriate settings it just writes a few tables which is much easier to view and generally more clean.

TheLizardKing:
Here comes a big splash of ignorance!

I just download this the latest version of this garnome which is only 34K and it will begin to build gnome for me?  How?  Does it download the files and if so how would someone who doesn't have a continual (spelling, not for everybody) internet connection use this?  Sorry for looking like a newbie but I am in this field so any help would be greatly appreciated.

choasmaster:
never used it, i think it downloads eacs package at a time, and im pretty sure its a shell script. so you could probabbly hack it to use the already donwloaded stuff, but i would recommend just lettingit go, unless you have a 56k modems, cuase then i would say, download it all at once and build it your self like i did and am going to do again
