Translators and +doc people are exempted from this, of course. I will update the HACKING +files accordingly. -These should be available by ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu or any of the -fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org. +This hopefully won't last long as my list of things to before 1.2 is +getting short these days. -If you are accessing gnome via CVS, you will need to run the -autogen.sh script to get GNOME to compile. - - cvsroot/gnome$ ./autogen.sh [configure options] - -N.b., the "configure" script will not exist until you take these -steps. The last step is in case you have not installed the DocBook -packages. These are still esoteric enough that we are not requiring -you to install them to build GNOME. - -Before running configure, make sure you have libtool in your path. - -There is a simple script (autogen.sh) on the root directory that does -all of this for you. Just run this script with any arguments that you -want to pass to configure. If you like to build in a directory -different from the source, you can run `$srcdir/autogen.sh' in the -build directory, and it will deduce $srcdir. - -Please submit patches to the gnome-list@gnome.org mailing list. All -kinds of contributions are accepted. If at all possible, please use -CVS to get the latest development version of gnome; the README file -has the CVSROOT information. - -In devel-docs/ you'll find the GNOME Developer's Tutorial. +Thanks, +Jacob |
