1: Hacking
==========
If you would like to hack on Nautilus, or have patches, please send
mail to the Nautilus maintainer: Darin Adler <darin@eazel.com>.
Patches should also be sent to the Nautilus mailing list:
<nautilus-list@lists.eazel.com>
The HACKING file contains other things you should know when hacking on
Nautilus and when contributing code. Please, make sure you check the
coding style document in docs/style-guide.html and other documents
found in the "docs" directory.
===============
2: Introduction
===============
To build Nautilus without interfering with an existing Gnome install,
you will need to build several components either from CVS or from
tarballs into a separate prefix. Detailed instructions on how
to accomplish this are available in section 4.
==============================
3: Distribution-specific notes
==============================
The following describes the libraries that Nautilus hackers use for
development and what we have tested with. At the moment, we make no
guarantees one way or another about whether Nautilus will work with
other versions.
You will also need the library package that is associated with each
development package, these versions are for Red Hat 6.2 and Debian
"potato":
library Red Hat Debian approx. version
-------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------
audiofile audiofile-devel-0.1.9-3 libaudiofile-dev (0.1.9-0.1) 0.1.9
libc glibc-devel-2.1.3-15 libc6-dev (2.1.3-10) 2.1.3
libc++ egcs-c++-1.1.2-30 libstdc++2.10-dev (2.95.2-12) 2.9.0, 2.10
libjpeg libjpeg-devel-6b-10 libjpeg62-dev (6b-1.2) 6b 1.0-1.2
libpng libpng-devel-1.0.5-3 libpng2-dev (1.0.5-1) 1.0.5
libtiff libtiff-devel-3.5.4-5 libtiff3g-dev (3.5.4-5) 3.5.4
libungif libungif-devel-4.1.0-4 libungif3g-dev (3.0-3) 3.0 or 4.1.0
Xlib XFree86-devel-3.3.6-20 xlib6g-dev (3.3.6-7) 3.3.6
zlib zlib-devel-1.1.3-6 zlib1g-dev (1.1.3-5) 1.1.3
freetype2 freetype2-devel-1.0beta8 ??? 1.0beta8
Other modules for Red Hat users: either 6.1 or 6.2
- For most modules, the versions in Red Hat 6.1 or 6.2 will do (listed above).
- ORBit requires popt-1.5, which can be fetched from:
ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/mirrors/redhat/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/popt-1.5-0.45.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/mirrors/redhat/redhat/redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/popt-1.5-0.48.i386.rpm
- FreeType packages are available here:
http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/freetype2/freetype2-1.0beta8-0_eazel_1.i386.rpm
http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/freetype2/freetype2-devel-1.0beta8-0_eazel_1.i386.rpm
Other modules for Debian users: using potato, or possibly woody
If you need to get a copy of popt from source:
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel
The default password is a carriage return. You should do a cvs co popt
============
4: Compiling
============
First, make sure you have installed the packages detailed below. If
you are running GNOME from binaries (Helix Code or your native
distribution binaries), please make sure you have installed the
corresponding development packages. (i.e.: the *-devel packages which
provide the necessary C header files.
Then, make sure you have no old version of the packages nautilus
depends on on your system. You can check the version of the relevant
packages by trying to execute "package-config --version" (ie:
gnome-config --version will report gnome-libs version, gconf-config
--version will report gconf's version).
Compiling from tarballs.
------------------------
If you are compiling from tarballs, (ie: using released versions of
nautilus and the relevant packages), you want to follow the
instructions below.
The following lists the packages and the versions they should report.
module version configure options dist.
------ ------ ----------------- -----
rpm 3.0.5 --enable-eazel-services RH6.2
popt: <1.5, but not from GNOME CVS, see below> RH6.2
glib: 1.2.8 HC1.2
gtk+: 1.2.8 HC1.2
imlib: 1.9.8.1 HC1.2
gnome-xml: 1.8.10 HC1.2
ORBit: 0.5.4 HC1.2
gnome-libs: 1.2.7 --enable-prefer-db1 HC1.2
gnome-http: 1.0.7 HC1.2
oaf: 0.6.0 HC1.2
gconf: 0.11
gdk-pixbuf: 0.9.0 --enable-canvas-pixbuf HC1.2
gnome-print: 0.24 HC1.2
control-center 1.2.2 HC1.2
gnome-vfs: HEAD
bonobo: 0.26 HC
libglade: 0.14 HC1.2
libunicode: 0.4 HC
medusa: HEAD
ammonite: HEAD
nautilus: 0.2
RH6.2 == Version from Red Hat 6.2 OK
HC1.2 == Version from Helix Code Gnome 1.2 OK
HC == Helix Code may be from Evolution Preview
If you are running Helix Code's GNOME, you should not need recompile
the packages marked "HC1.2" provided you have installed the
corresponding development packages.
We assume you want to install these packages in another prefix than
/usr since you want to keep a working system. For the following, we
assume you are installing in /usr/local. ie: ${prefix}=/usr/local
Redefine your PATH environment variable:
export PATH=$PATH:${prefix}/bin
Redefine your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${prefix}/lib
Redefine your GNOME_PATH environment variable:
export GNOME_PATH=$GNOME_PATH:${prefix}
In the order defined above and with the specific options detailed
above, you should run the configure scripts with: "./configure
--prefix=${prefix} --special-options" Then, run make; get root and run
make install.
You should get a running nautilus soon after. :)
Compiling from cvs.
-------------------
Compiling from cvs usually requires more work and some packages may
not compile. Do so at your own risk!!
The following lists the packages and the versions that are required.
module branch configure options dist.
------ ------ ----------------- -----
popt: <1.5, but not from GNOME CVS, see below> RH6.2
glib: glib-1-2 HC1.2
gtk+: gtk-1-2 HC1.2
imlib: HEAD HC1.2
gnome-xml: LIB_XML_1_BRANCH
ORBit: orbit-stable-0-5
gnome-libs: gnome-libs-1-0 --enable-prefer-db1 HC1.2
gnome-http: HEAD
oaf: HEAD
gconf: HEAD
gdk-pixbuf: HEAD --enable-canvas-pixbuf
gnome-print: HEAD
control-center control-center-1-0
gnome-vfs: HEAD
bonobo: HEAD
ammonite HEAD
xpdf: HEAD
medusa: HEAD
nautilus: HEAD
RH6.2 == Version from Red Hat 6.2 OK
HC1.2 == Version from Helix Code Gnome 1.2 OK
One difference between tarball and cvs compilation is that when you
get stuff from cvs, you don't get a configure script. This script has
to be generated. This script is usually generated with the help of
another script available from cvs named "autogen.sh". For those
interested, "autogen.sh" will run in turn aclocal, automake, autoconf
and configure. You thus need versions of the GNU tools for the
following packages:
package version command
------- ------- -------
automake 1.4 automake --version
autoconf 2.13 autoconf --version
Earlier versions might work but no one has tested them.
Once you have these tools, you need to follow the compilation
instructions detailed above for tarballs but instead of running
"./configure --stuff", you will run "./autogen.sh --stuff". Using this
also requires you to create the ${prefix}/share/aclocal directory
before compiling any package and setup the following environment
variable:
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="$ACLOCAL_FLAGS -I ${prefix}/share/aclocal"
Besides these differences, building from CVS should be otherwise
like building from released packages as described above.
===============================
5: Issues when running Nautilus
===============================
There's a script named nautilus-clean.sh, at the top level of the
Nautilus sources. If OAF or GConf changes, you may need to run this
script to get Nautilus to work properly. One way to invoke it is
like this:
./nautilus-clean.sh -x
===============================
6: Mozilla support
===============================
Nautilus includes support for browsing HTML content on the local
computer as well as remote web servers. HTML content is handled by
the Nautilus Mozilla Component. This component can be optionally
built with Nautilus. It is automatically enabled at configure time if
Mozilla development libraries are detected on your system.
Mozilla M18 is required for the Mozilla component to build.
The easiest way to get the Mozilla development libraries, is to use
Chris Blizzard's Mozilla rpms. These can be fetched over here:
http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/mozilla/mozilla-M18-4.i386.rpm
http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/mozilla/mozilla-devel-M18-4.i386.rpm
After installing these rpms, you can build nautilus with Mozilla
support as follows:
cd nautilus
rm -f config.cache config.status
./configure
The configure script should automatically detect and use the Mozilla
development libraries.
Alternatively, you can build Mozilla from source and use that. Lets
say that you built Mozilla in /foo/bar. You can build nautilus with
support for that Mozilla build as follows:
cd nautilus
rm -f config.cache config.status
./configure --with-mozilla-lib-place=/foo/bar/mozilla/dist/bin
--with-mozilla-include-place=/foo/bar/mozilla/dist/include
NOTE: The above command should be issued in one line. It is split
into two lines in this document for readability.
NOTE: If you are building mozilla from source (NOT from the rpm), you
need to do some environment setup for the Mozilla component:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/foo/bar/mozilla/dist/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/bar/mozilla/dist/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Finally, you can disable the Mozilla component (even if Mozilla
development libraries are installed in your system) as follows:
./configure --disable-mozilla-component
===============================
7: FreeType issues
===============================
Nautilus includes support for rendering anti aliased text (Smooth mode).
For smooth mode to work, Nautilus needs to detect and use FreeType2
in your system.
To learn more about FreeType2, please see:
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/
If you are using a RedHat 6.x or greater system, then you can easily
add FreeType2 support byt installing the rpms found here:
http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/freetype2
We will soon have additional autoconf flags for supporting FreeType2
builds in arbitrary locations.
We will also soon have the equivalent Debian packages.
