I've just got back to evaluating gnome after a much
needed break.
gnopernicus: 0.9.6
gnome-speech: 0.3.3
I've built everything multiple times, using
garnome. How do I find out the version of garnome, if it in deed has a
version?
I've found various problems compiling and had to
get later versions of things than initially specified in the Makefiles for each
component. I don't remember now, but I ultimately recompiled everything in the
garnome/boot directory and the platform directory. I still haven't gotten
balsa to compile and mozilla compiled but gives no feedback at all when run
except for menus. None of the help buttons in gnopernicus or other gnome
windows produce anything I can read.
Aside from these problems, I get the following
behaviors consistently:
1. After about 10 minutes, all speech
ceases.
2. When this happens, I switch back to my windows
screen reader and from my PTY session, examine the running processies. I find 5
dectalk processies running and 2 festival processes running. Is this
normal?
2. Things are very slow. I'm running rh9 on a
pentium (p3 perhaps but not sure) running at aprox. 500mhz. It takes about half
a second to simply move to the next icon or list item in nautalis and read it.
Is this normal?
3. Could someone detail the startup procedure -
i.e. how to start gnome? We installed rh9 with x-windows support enabled.
Where do I put my bash commands to initialize the environment and start
gnome. What I did is to put the following in .xsession in my home
dir:
source
~/bin/setup-gnome-environment.sh
exec $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session The setup-gnome-environment.sh script just sets
variables like path and ld_library_path etc. Here's its source:
#!/bin/sh
GARNOME=$HOME/garnome export GARNOME PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.2/site-packages PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig GDK_USE_XFT=1 GTK_MODULES='gail:atk-bridge' XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT GTK_MODU LES export XDG_DATA_DIRS I'm frustrated beyond belief. I'm going to throw away everything and
rebuild the entire tree again. It'll take about 8 hours to compile everything,
and if nothing goes wrong, should be able to test again tomorrow.
