Hi,
I've been trying for the last 2 month to get some updates to OI in
particular Hipster.
I tried to update the DE by compiling MATE, then I tried to get an
alternative browser to work copnsidering the issue with Firefox and
started to compile Midori.
Of course, MATE is a hell to compile as it is fragmented all over the
place with each modules having its on dependencies. But I reach an
interesting point where quite a lot of application were compile but
not the main modules (panel, ...)
Midori is hard on dependencies as well (GTK+3 <- Glib <- automake,....)
I have a very limited time to dedicate (and skills, I have to admit)
and would like to make the best out of it so I ask you.
Does it make sense to try to get MATE up and running to replace GNOME
2, or get another type desktop, or keep the current one ?
Midori has already moved to GTK+3 and more and more applications are
designed on top of it, does it make sense to focus the effort on
building a functionnal GTK+3 on OI as a starting point ?
Hi.
I think that MATE would be a valuable thing, and it worth to try making
it work,
but you can underestimate the work wich is necessary to make it
functional.
What about GTK3, you can look at
https://java.net/projects/solaris-desktop/sources/spec-files/ ,
it has base-specs/gtk3.spec, SUNWgtk3.spec and SUNWgtk3-engines.spec.
They are a valuable starting point. Note, that I couldn't find when you
can witch branches
int web ui, perhaps you'll have to clone the repo and switch manually to
gnome-2-30-s12
branch to see the specs.
