HOWTO

# libwnck
# =======
# Slackware 9.0's 'libwnck' package includes version 2.2.0, 9.1's includes
# 2.4.0.1, 10.0 and 10.1's include 2.6.2  As of Slackware 10.2, Gnome
# is no longer included (and neither is libwnck).

# I include multiple versions here to cover different releases of Gnome,
# but keep in mind that I only actually use Gnome 2.16.x myself.

# If you ever want to uninstall libwnck, cd into the source, run 'make
# uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, and remove the tarball.

# I remove libwnck.mo internationalization files below because I'm in the US
# and only read/write English (well).  If that is not the case for you,
# don't run that part (find /usr/share/locale...).

# Prerequisites (for all versions):
# gettext
# pkg-config
# libstartup-notification-1.0

# Install/update the XML::Parser Perl module:
su -c "perl -MCPAN -e shell"
o conf make_install_arg UNINST=1
o conf prerequisites_policy follow
install Bundle::CPAN
install XML::Parser
exit

# libwnck 2.10.3 (for Gnome 2.10.x)
# ===============
# Prerequisites (beyond those listed above):
# GTK+-2.0 >= 2.5.4
# XFree86 or X.org
