Re: how to install gnome ?
You can try installing gnome-session. It will pull all its dependencies and afterwards you should have a nearly complete gnome desktop. I believe. Ive never tried it but I think it might be worth a shot. Petr David Aubril wrote: Well, I just joined the list, and I am sorry to start with such a question. I was wondering how to install gnome from the binary set. I looked at the packages that have just been uploaded in the test repository, but there is no package called gnome or gnome-base. So, with the binary set of packages, how can I do ? I've seen that there has been a question like that on the list a couple of weeks ago ( 07 Aug 2006 ), but no clear answer ( well, no clear enough for me, at least ). Thank you.

Set PKG_PATH to 'ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/1.6.0-RELEASE/i386/All' And pkg_add all the dependencies listed here: http://pkgsrc.se/meta-pkgs/gnome You can cut-and-paste yourself a list of pkg_add commands. I don't know if every one of those utilities will be present as a prebuilt binary, but probably most of them. As Petr said, gnome-session may be a good start, and then pick up what's missing as above.

Re: how to install gnome ?
Hum. In fact, there is no gnome-session binary package. So, I pkg_added a whole bunch of things ( gdm, gnome-desktop, gnome-menu, gnome-panel, etc. ). But still no gnome-session. Well, i can try to build the rest from pkgsrc2006Q3, but if you say that they are broken on dragonfly... Justin C.

In that case, he could build from source, but it would take forever, and probably bomb out at some point because it would hit a package it couldn't compile. Adding the packages manually isn't great, but it'll go way faster, and get most of the way there. I don't use gnome, so I can't say specifically how far to go.

You find the pre2006Q3 packages at that link too, now. Joerg
