"How can I build GNOME 2"

[Martin Baulig <martin home-of-linux org>]

Ok, I was asked this question once again, so here's the answer once again:

a) Check out vicious-build-scripts module from CVS, read the README in it
   and install it.

b) In your shell, source in the ~/bin/gnome-head file
   (`. ~/bin/gnome-head' or `source ~/bin/gnome-head')

c) Run `CVSUSER=username bootstrap.sh' to bootstrap the stuff. You only need
   to run this once. It'll setup a /gnome/head directory, download autoconf,
   pkg-config and everything and install it there.

   To use anoncvs, leave off the `CVSUSER=username', it defaults to anoncvs.

d) Type rebuild.sh

This is explained in more detail in the README file in vicious-build-scripts.
