I know how to build Xfce, I've been supporting it on Solaris 10 for some years now. Something like pkgtool and SFE is definitely necessary. Package builds need to be automated. I've always found the SFE process to be quite hard going, and the spec files I need at the moment are either completely absent or out of date. But I'm still trying to get all the missing base pieces (primarily from JDS, such as glib/ gtk/pango/cairo and friends) building correctly. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
