Re: gnome for *BSD ?

Sounds good.

Jason> 1) Where are the sources for these ?

Take a look at:

	http://www.gnome.org/software/software.shtml

This says how to get everything.

For instance, you could check out what you need via anonymous cvs.
(This is the best way, because it means your patches can always be
made against the latest Gnome source.)

Jason> 2) What is the minimal that is needed ?

The page about anonymous cvs partially addresses this.

Here are the dependencies I know of:

* You need autoconf, automake, libtool (and for best results GNU
  gettext) to even start
* Everything needs gtk+, imlib (and whatever it needs: jpeg, libgif,
  etc), and gnome-libs
* gnome-core requires mico
* Some things (I forget what, sorry -- but not gnome-core) require
  gnome-objc gnome-guile, so build these early (just after gnome-core)


I don't think you'll have major problems doing a FreeBSD port.
Looking forward to your fixes,
Tom
