Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org. + +If you are accessing gnome via CVS, then you will need to take several +steps to get it to compile. These are: + + cvsroot/gnome# aclocal; automake; autoconf + cvsroot/gnome# cd guile-gtk; aclocal; automake; autoconf; cd .. + cvsroot/gnome# cd programs/gemvt; aclocal; automake; autoconf; cd ../.. + cvsroot/gnome# cd programs/freecell; autoheader; aclocal; automake; autoconf; cd ../.. + cvsroot/gnome# touch programs/gnome-hello/gnome-hello.html + +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. |
