Re: moving the garnome directory - Conclusions

["Mario J. Borgnia" <mborgnia nih gov>]

Thanks Jeff for all your help.

Here my summary instructions to move the garnome directory:

This summary applies ONLY in the case you had previously installed
garnome using the standard procedure at $HOME/garnome

IMPORTANT:

- You MUST recompile in order to relocate to a new directory
- Recompiling will NOT work by just modifying the value of prefix

So, here it goes:

To prevent downloading the *tar.gz and *tar.bz2 files again do the
following:

   mkdir /somepath/garnome
   mv garnome-0.12.0/gnome/*/download/* /somepath/garnome/.

now you can get rid of 

garnome-0.12.0

unpack garnome-0.12.0.tar.gz into a fresh subdirectory

     tar -xvzf garnome-0.12.0.tar.gz


cd garnome-0.12.0

and modify the following lines in gar.conf.mk:

     FILE_SITES = file://$(FILEDIR)/

to

    FILE_SITES = file://$(FILEDIR)/ file:///somepath/garnome/


and:

    prefix ?= $HOME/garnome

to

    prefix ?= /usr/local/garnome

or your favorite path

THEN

    cd meta/gnome-desktop
    make install
