The gnome-panel package contains the menu and applet systems.
gnome-panel depends on: libgnomeui-2.2.0.1 and scrollkeeper-0.3.11 gnome-panel will utilize: gtk-doc-1.0 and sgml-dtd-3.1 |
Install gnome-panel by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin \ --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome --disable-gtk-doc && make && make install |
--libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin : This switch puts libexec files in $GNOME_PREFIX/sbin instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
--localstatedir=/var/lib : This switch puts scrollkeeper files in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome : This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.
--disable-gtk-doc : This switch prevents the rebuilding of documentation during the make command.
The gnome-panel package contains libpanel-applet-2 libraries and applets.
libpanel-applet libraries allow development of small applications which may be embedded in the panel called applets.
applets included are Workspace Switcher, Window List, Inbox Monitor, Clock and 'Wanda the Fish'.
