HOWTO

# ORBit
# =====
# ORBit is required by lots of Gnome libraries and applications.  Below I
# include the latest version of ORBit and one version of ORBit2 for Gnome
# 2.2, one for 2.4, one for 2.6/2.8/2.10, one for 2.12, and one for 2.14
# or 2.16  So, I install ORBit and the version of ORBit2 that matches the
# version of Gnome that I'm using.  As of Slackware version 10.2, GNOME is
# no longer included, so ORBit and ORBit2 aren't either.

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

# ORBit 0.5.17
# ============
# Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, and 10.1's 'orbit' packages include version
# 0.5.17

# FYI, I have been unable to build this with gcc 3.4.2 or 3.4.5 a while back
# or 4.1.1 just now so I no longer use ORBit 0.x  I will update this with a
# patch if I come across one.  If you need ORBit 0.x, you might want to go
# with the package from Slackware 10.1:
# ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.1/slackware/l/orbit-0.5.17-i386-1.tgz

# Prerequisites:
# indent
# glib >= 1.2.1
# bison
# flex
# gawk
# tcp wrappers (optional)
# libiconv
# gettext

# ORBit2
# ======
# Slackware 9.0's 'orbit2' package includes 2.6.0, 9.1's includes 2.8.1,
# 10.0 and 10.1's include 2.10.2

# Prerequisites (for all versions of ORBit2):
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# pkg-config
# libidl-2.0 >= 0.7.4
# openssl
# popt

# Newer versions of ORBit2 use their own ./linc2/ instead of the external linc,
# so if you only have it installed for ORBit2, you can uninstall it.
# Slackware >= 10.0 no longer include a 'linc' package.

# Especially if you go from one major version of ORBit2 (of Gnome) to
# another, make sure you run 'make uninstall' in the source directory of any
# old version(s) that you're replacing before you begin below.

# If you don't have OpenSSL installed in the usual (source-installed) place
# (/usr/local/ssl), like if yours is a distribution installed package that
# installed it under the /usr prefix, you can skip the CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS part
# below in the version that you install.

# ORBit2 2.6.3 (for Gnome 2.2.x)
# ============
# Prerequisites (beyond those listed above):
# linc
# glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0
# gtk-doc > 1.0 (Slackware includes this in the sgml-tools/linuxdoc-tools
#  package)
