CINNAMON SlackBuilds
|
||
|
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository provides SlackBuild scripts to build and install the CINNAMON
|
||
|
|
desktop environment (http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com) on top of Slackware Linux.
|
||
|
|
The Cinnamon packages are built with a minimum set of dependencies, but still
|
||
|
|
provides a working desktop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I do not plan to provide binary packages at this moment. The reason is that
|
||
|
|
because i only tested this on VM (virtual machine) environment only, not yet
|
||
|
|
on a real machine. Once it's confirmed that it works out-of-the-box in real
|
||
|
|
machine, then i can consider providing binary packages for Cinnamon.
|
||
|
|
As always, building from the source is the recommended way to make sure it
|
||
|
|
is linked with the libraries available on your machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to build and install the CINNAMON packages using these scripts:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Install bash-completion from /extra before building the packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Reinstall startup-notifications and NetworkManager to avoid broken build on
|
||
|
|
cinnamon-control-center and muffin. I know it's strange things to do, but
|
||
|
|
this problem did happen on a clean installation of Slackware64-14.1 and
|
||
|
|
reinstalling it before building solved the problems for me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Run the 'build-cinnamon.sh' in the root directory which will build
|
||
|
|
and install all the cinnamon packages including the necessary dependencies.
|
||
|
|
Just in case the automated build script failed, refer to KNOWN_ISSUES.
|
||
|
|
If you want to build it manually, please refer to BUILD_ORDER
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Once the packages are built and installed, you can use 'xwmconfig'
|
||
|
|
to select the cinnamon session. Run startx to start Cinnamon Desktop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Enjoy and let me know of any issues or suggestions/improvements.
