HOWTO

# gnome-menus
# ===========
# As of Slackware 10.2, Gnome is no longer included.  Previous versions
# (which were < Gnome 2.12.x) did not include a gnome-menus package.

# I include multiple versions below to cover different major releases of
# Gnome, but keep in mind that I only actually use the Gnome 2.16.x version.

# If you ever want to uninstall gnome-menus, cd into the source directory,
# run 'make uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, then remove
# the tarball.

# Prerequisites:
# gettext
# intltool >= 0.31
# Perl
# iconv
# pkg-config
# GLib
# FAM
# Python (optional; for bindings)

# 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

# gnome-menus 2.10.2 (for Gnome 2.10.x)
# ==================
# Prerequisites (beyond those listed above):
# GLib >= 2.5.6
# gnome-vfs >= 2.8.2
