_____________________________________________ | Gnome 1.0 for Slackware 4.0 |\ | http://www.gnome.org | | | http://www.slackware.com | | | | | | Created By: Brian M Dial | | | brian@rasputin.linuxos.net | | |_____________________________________________| | \_____________________________________________\| This is the second release of gnome packages for Slackware Linux 4.0. These packages were built on the beta2 release with NLS support (which differs from the previous release). You should have the following packages installed from the Slackware cdrom disk sets. d1/gettext.tgz (shared libintl for NLS) xap1/gimp.tgz (glib/gtk 1.2.2) xap1/libgr.tgz (necessary graphics libs) Use pkgtool or installpkg to install these packages, and add the following to your xinitrc exec /usr/bin/gnome-session These packages were built with egcs-1.1.2. The libraries contained in these packages were stripped of debugging symbols to decrease size. The binaries were stripped of all symbols for the same reason. These packages are still larger than the RPM version because they contain everything and are not broken up into smaller packages (base, devel, etc..) Many thanks go to: Patrick J. Volkerding for creating one of the best distributions of Linux out there. Miguel de Icaza and the entire Gnome team for the great software they've brought to linux. All the people who've submitted reports about how these packages work for them. I still appreciate any comments especially from those who have gotten them to work on older versions (3.6).
