Instructions for building gnome 1.3 (err, 1.4 beta, I mean)

[Gregory Leblanc <gleblanc cu-portland edu>]

Howdy folks!  I've been cranking away on these GNOME 1.4 beta releases.
About the time that 1.4beta2 was released, I got beta1 completely built
into RPM packages for RedHat 6.2.  Just today I (more or less) finished
getting GNOME 1.4 beta 2 in order.  This has taken quite a long time
since I've been trying to develop some proper build-time dependancies,
and some groups of packages that I can build things in.  Here's what I
came up with.  The build dependancies are all encoded into my SRPMS,
available from ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/GNOME-RH6.2/beta2/SRPMS/
Some of them didn't get onto this list below, they'll get there
eventually.  Each "batch" is a group of packages that can be build
without installing anything from that batch.  Once a "batch" has been
built into binaries, install the whole batch, and then proceed onto the
next step.  This may not be as much help for individuals building GNOME,
but it's certainly nice for those of us who build huge numbers of
packages.  Please send me any feedback you have, and I can make a
summary post once I have significant updates, or when I write some real
instructions to go along with these.

P.S.  Gnome-pim isn't on this list, as there's still a bit of work I
need to do to make it work without the pilot conduits, if that proves to
be worthwhile.
