Gnome 2.1.5 is out now

I'm looking forward to ebuilds.

I am probably going to work on putting these together tonight. They will be a lot smoother than the gnome-2.1.4 ebuilds that just now I think are stabalizing. I know that foser was planning on doing ebuilds for gnome-2.1.5 too. I'm not terribly sure when or if you'll see the 2.1.5 builds that I will start on tonight, because mine will be highly tested before they go on this forum.

You have my attention, I'm eagerly awaiting 2.1.5 ebuilds

I'm still on 2.1.3 which have some minor Panel issues still, and Metacity 2.4.8 is out which supposedly carry some nice speed improvements and fixes (and I'm still on 2.4.5 there...).

made my ebuilds....in testing stage 1 right now...These will be tested until I have reason enough to believe that they are stable enough to release. Probably will still run into the same gnome-media problem as the gnome-2.1.4 ebuilds as gnome-media has not changed.

why have the gnome-core ebuilds stopped?

i would like to be able to compile the MINIMUM/BASE/CORE requires for a gnome desktop.

foser, if you can make one it would be greatly appreciated.

I've compiled gnome-2.1.5 with a minimum of problems on my gentoo 1.2 profile gcc 2.95.3 k6-III+ fic503+ voodoo3 system. I did have a problem with libgtkhtml but a fix was posted on bugs.gentoo.org (this caused libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui to fail to compile.) I am missing the cpu and memory load monitor (multiload-applet2, I believe...). It segfaulted on session start even after erasing .gnome2* dirs. (If anyone has any suggestions...?). Gnome2 is looking good - Thanks Foser and everyone involved.

Pango bombs out for me... So much for checking out GNOME development... hell no, I'll stick to KDE for now.

There are some dependencies like "=x11-libs/gtk+-2.1*" which let portage install gtk+-2.1* although there's gtk+-2.2.0
The same goes for atk, pango and glib

gail has the wrong digest (for version 2.1.3), the same goes for libgtkhtml. And yes I know how to create a digest, I just wanted to report the problem ;-)

Other than that everything compiled fine

thanks!!!

Most of you that will download have already downloaded the 2.1.5 ebuilds from foser. Since this is the case, I will go ahead and link to my ebuilds that I created earlier now. I do not mean to discredit foser, and to keep from the forums getting too confusing, do either mention what ebuilds you're using when reporting a problem or just pm me. I would actually prefer that you pm me so that these posts can be focused on foser's builds. I release these pretty much just because they were made, and they have worked perfectly out of the box for the two other people who have tried them. No guarantees, and no discredits to foser's work. I have found foser's work to be of high quality. Once again, unstable, unmasked, and potential system hosers:

edit: I made these for myself before I knew foser had made the ebuilds, else I would have used his.

Lowspirit · Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2002 6:31 pm Post subject: Finally...

After much hassle I got it in and I must say I like it, left compile on at home while being at work but the missing digests kind of halted that train alittle, but aside from some missing digests and strange dependencies I got it up and running, really miss my multiload applet though but other then that smooth a smooth ride, dev gnome are really shaping up, can't wait for the RC to appear in officiall portage so I don't have to scan forums every new release.

Thanks.

having problems with libgnomeprintui, it bombs out. tried the bugs.gentoo.org page for any postings (as earlier said in this thread), but i didn't find anything.

Symbiote,

this is the fix that will fix libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui - even though it's for an alpha processor it works here:

gfunkmonk · Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2002 4:43 pm Post subject:

I had a problem with libgnomeprintui not being able to tell I had libgnomeprint installed. So I compiled libgnomeprint manually and then libgnomeprintui's configure script detected it.

I'm trying to emerge gnome 2.1.5 and I get this dependence message "there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy >=gnome-base/libbonobo-2.1.1" but there is no libbonobo-2.1.1 only 2.1.0. any ideas?

GCC 1.4_rc1
pentium III

spendabuck: i had the same problems with the other ebuild, use fosers.

regarding libgnomeprintui, my problem is this:

peabody12 · n00b Joined: 17 Jul 2002 Posts: 36

I was just wondering why so many of the applicatons have = settings for some things instead of >=. Are these because later versions are known to be broken, or a conservative build. I am playing around changing all the files, but owuld like to know if i'm being a fool.

thanks
james
