Re: Suggestions and Questions



Thanks for the attachment. Is the attached file for Gnome 1.4 or Garnome
0.12.2 . Since, I have Garnome installed in my home directory under
/home/sandeepk/garnome and the original install tree in
/home/sandeepk/tmp/garnome-0.12.2. So, I just dropped and expanded the
attached tar ball in /home/sandeepk/tmp/garnome-0.12.2 which made it as
/home/sandeepk/tmp/garnome-0.12.2/gnome/gnome-audio. 
And, when I run 'make install' it looks like it is tring to do something
in /usr/share/sounds !!! 
If it is for Gnome 1.4 then, I already had the sound files installed in
/usr/share/sounds but, it still never worked. And, The sound events sure
did not work in my Garnome install too. 

The package is for Gnome2. But seeing your problem I remembered it
didn't honor the installation location as Garnome tells to it.

Since I compiled as root I didn't have the permission problems. I fixed
it by copying those files. 
Anyway I am sorry about the mess. 
I suppose you can unpack the tar-ball and copy the sound-files to
<gnome2-dir>/share/sounds

I am sorry that I forgot to mention it. My laptop is Compaq 12XL125: AMD
K6-III, 533 Mhz, 30 Gb HDD, 192 Mb RAM with 8 Mb shared Video memory. 
Can You suggest an optimization string for it and a procedure to place
it as I don't know much about makefiles. 

you can set compiler-options in <garnome-src>/gnome/category.mk

First you should send me a dump of /proc/cpuinfo. And check your gcc
version. I upgraded to 3.1 from the Mandrake Cooker.
Then I can try to give you a CFLAGS line, but I don't garantee it will
work or produce stable code.

Yes, I have been playing with it for some time now. Unfortunately,
chaning the Window Manager option in it doesn't have any effect, and I
could never find that "move windows using Opaque/Box Model...." option
that Sawfish already had. 

Off course the window-manager needs to support Gconf and those entries.
Metacity does but don't know of any other. Perhaps sawfish does too.

latest releases?? I think I did download the latest from
http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/ which was 0.12.2 . 

I keep track of announcements and check the ftp-server once in a while
for updates. I then update the garnome-makefile for the package and
recompile it. :-)
