<title>Introduction to <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application></title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This chapter attempts to install a complete
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version; desktop
|
|
environment and a limited
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 library environment that is
|
|
sufficient to run <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 applications included in this book. The
|
|
order of the pages are meant to follow the build order defined by the
|
|
GNOME development team as published in the <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.gnome.org/start/&gnome-version;/notes/rninstallation.html">release notes</ulink>, with two exceptions. If a package is in the release notes build list, but not in this chapter, it has been installed elsewhere in the book.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The installation of <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version; is a large undertaking and one we would
|
|
like to see you complete with the least amount of stress. One
|
|
of our first goals in this installation is to protect your previously
|
|
installed software, especially if you are testing
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> on your machine.
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version; packages utilize the --prefix= option for configure, so we will
|
|
use that and an Environment variable (<envar>GNOME_PREFIX</envar>) to add flexibility to
|
|
the install.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you know that you want
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> as your desktop, it is recommended that
|
|
you install with --prefix=/usr. If you are not sure that you are going
|
|
to keep <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> on your installation, it is recommended that you install with
|
|
--prefix=/opt/gnome-&gnome-version;. Setting the Environment variable and the
|
|
additional edits required by the second option are covered on the
|
|
pre-installation page.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you choose the second option, removal of
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version; is as easy
|
|
as removing the edits from the pre-installation page and issuing the
|
|
following command:</para>
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>rm /opt/gnome-&gnome-version; -r </command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>If your system was completely built per <acronym>LFS</acronym> and
|
|
<acronym>BLFS</acronym>
|
|
instructions, you have a very good chance of using
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version;
|
|
after your first install. If you are a typical <acronym>LFS</acronym> user, you have made
|
|
modifications to the instructions along the way knowing that you have to
|
|
take those modifications into account on future installations. You
|
|
should have no problems integrating
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version; into your unique setup, but
|
|
you will have 28 to 33 packages installed before you can run
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>
|
|
through any testing (assuming your window manager is preinstalled and
|
|
tested). We would anticipate that you will be rebuilding
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> at least
|
|
once to make adjustments for your setup.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you are building a
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 desktop environment, you would
|
|
install only those libraries in the
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 chapter
|
|
<emphasis>and</emphasis> any dependencies listed on those pages, whether
|
|
labeled or not. <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> packages without pages are simply installed with:
|
|
<screen><command>./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome &&
|
|
make &&
|
|
make install</command></screen>
|
|
These instructions are simplistic to facilitate removal of
|
|
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4
|
|
from <acronym>BLFS</acronym> systems when it is no longer necessary. These instructions
|
|
may be refined later to comply with <acronym>BLFS</acronym> standards for file locations,
|
|
specifically <filename class='directory'>/opt/gnome/etc</filename> to
|
|
<filename class='directory'>/etc</filename> and <filename
|
|
class='directory'>/opt/gnome/var</filename> to
|
|
<filename class='directory'>/var</filename>. You should consider using
|
|
the <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application> 1.4 hint
|
|
located at <ulink url="http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints"/> if you
|
|
have no interest in <application><acronym>GNOME</acronym></application>-&gnome-version;.</para>
