GNOME 2.18 on Mandriva 2007.0 with jhbuild

GNOME 2.18 has been released a few days ago. However, I still haven’t seen it running…. I’m too lazy to download Foresight Linux, and it seems that the Mandriva One with GNOME 2.18 is only available for x86_64 users… Too bad for my Athlon XP 3000+.

Anyway, I just achieved to compile almost the whole GNOME desktop from jhbuild tonight. Only a few modules are missing, some because they are hard to compile with 2007.0 (NetworkManager, network-manager-applet), others just because I just don’t care about them (mozilla, evolution-exchange, libexchange). Mozilla in particular is so huge that I just always skip it.

For the braves that will dare to compile the GNOME desktop on their Mandriva 2007.0, I have just updated my guidelines about the jhbuild dependencies for GNOME on Mandriva Linux.

Enjoy.
