HOWTO

# nautilus
# ========
# Slackware 8.1's 'nautilus' package includes version 1.0.6, 9.0's includes
# 2.2.2, 9.1's includes 2.4.0, 10.0 and 10.2's include 2.6.3  As of
# Slackware 10.2, Gnome is no longer included.

# Below I include multiple versions of nautilus covering several releases
# of Gnome.  I will keep all of them updated, but keep in mind that I only
# actually use Gnome 2.12.x

# If you ever want to uninstall nautilus, or clean up files from an old
# version before installing a new one, cd into the source directory, run
# 'make uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, then remove
# the tarball.

# I only read/write (well) English, so I remove the nautilus.mo
# internationalization files below.  If this is not the case for you, skip
# that part.

# Prerequisites (for all versions):
# sed
# grep
# pkg-config
# esound >= 0.2.27
