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. You may want to read NOTES before building

|
|
|

|
|
|
3. Install bash-completion from /extra before building the packages.

|
|
|
4. Run libtest.sh script in test-script directory as root to make sure your
|
|
|
|
|
libraries are not corrupted. These errors are safe and can be ignored:
|
|
|
|
|
lddlibc4: cannot read header from `/usr/bin/htmlview': No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
|
lddlibc4: cannot read header from `/usr/bin/krdb': No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
|
lddlibc4: cannot read header from `/usr/bin/pnmnoraw': No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
|
lddlibc4: cannot read header from `/usr/bin/pnmtoplainpnm': No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
|
If you get a result of Invalid ELF header, that means one of your libraries
|
|
|
|
|
are corrupted and must be fixed first before building this packages.

|
|
5. Run the 'build-cinnamon.sh' in the root directory which will build
|
2014-04-09 06:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
6. Once the packages are built and installed, you can use 'xwmconfig'
|
2014-04-09 06:29:35 +02:00
|
|
|
to select the cinnamon session. Run startx to start Cinnamon Desktop.
