Here are some SlackBuild scripts to build and install the MATE desktop
|
|
|
|
|
environment on Slackware. Currently, they build and install MATE 1.5 which is
|
|
|
|
|
the development branch of the upcoming 1.6 release, due at the end of March or
|
|
|
|
|
early April, 2013.

How to install:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo and then go into
|
|
|
|
|
the 'base' directory. Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' which will build and
|
|
|
|
|
install all the base (required) packages. There are a total of 26 packages
|
|
|
|
|
and they do not replace any stock Slackware packages. The SlackBuilds will
|
|
|
|
|
use wget to download the sources. Or, you can also manually download the
|
|
|
|
|
sources from: http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.5/ and put each source
|
|
|
|
|
into the corresponding directory within 'base'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Optionally, go into the 'extra' directory and build and install any of the
|
|
|
|
|
extra packages. If you want to build and install them all, then you can use
|
|
|
|
|
the 'mate-build-extra.sh' script. Otherwise, just go into the directory of
|
|
|
|
|
whatever package you want and run the SlackBuild. As with 'base', each
|
|
|
|
|
SlackBuild will download the source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Once the base packages are built and installed, plus any from /extra, you
|
|
|
|
|
can use 'xwmconfig' to select the mate session. Or, if you use KDM, just log
|
|
|
|
|
out and select MATE from the KDM session dialog.
