Dropline GNOME 2.32

Before you start, read the below:

All of you who want to help, please install the Slackware 13.1 version of the OS either 32bit or 64bit version.

Please make sure you dont have the following packages or package groups installed on your development set up: 

* KDE, we do not install all KDE group of software to avoid compilation against some libs or parts of the KDE desktop, 
  since that can lead us to future bugs or problems during compilation and linking of the GNOME software.
  After we have the packages built this will not be an requirement to run GNOME.
* seamonkey, and seamonkey-solibs packages.
* mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird packages since we supply our own packages of those 2 softwares.

After you got the requirements set up properly and your system running, please check out the Dropline Build System and begin working on your choosen packages. To check out the DBS please issue the following command as a normal user: 

$ svn co http://dropline-gnome.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dropline-gnome/dbs/branches/DLG_2_32 dropline-build-system

This will create a dropline-build-system directory on your machine. When you got that, please tweak the config so you can set up all the needed paths, and then your scripts which you find in dropline-build-system/SCRIPTS dir and issue the following command as a root user to build a package: 

# ./build package_name

After some time you should end up with a created package, which you can install or upload somewhere where we can get it and test it.

Built packages are here:

Saxa's packages for i686 are here: http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/i686/2.32

Saxa's packages for x86_64 are here: http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.32

Notes for DLG-2.32

Some things which are relevant to the 2.32 release.

If you install the upmentioned packages you will have probably some troubles, until we finish all the thing.

One thing I noted was some programs didn't run since they complained about a non installed schema:

See below error from terminal:

To solve it I had to issue this as root: 

root@localhost:~# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

After that all was again fine.

If you get the following meesage, when running a program from the terminal, don't worry, it is just a cosmetic error: 

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
