How to install GNOME

+

There are some so called meta ports available for + installing these desktop environments or parts of + them. They are: +

    +
  • gnome3 (full GNOME desktop)
  • +
  • gnome3-lite (minimal GNOME desktop)
  • +
  • mate (full MATE desktop)
  • +
  • mate-lite (minimal MATE desktop)
  • +
  • cinnamon
  • +

+ The easiest way of installing is to run the + following command and replace gnome3 with the + desktop environment of choice: +
+# pkg install gnome3
+		  
+ Or if you prefer to build from source: +
+# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome3
+# make clean
+# make install clean
+		  
+

+ -

The easiest way to install GNOME is to install either of - the following ports:

-
    -
  • x11/gnome2 (the full desktop)
  • -
  • x11/gnome2-lite (the minimum desktop environment)
  • -
+

State of the port:

-

And, as desired, one or all of:

-
    -
  • x11/gnome2-fifth-toe (common applications)
  • -
  • x11/gnome2-power-tools (tools/toys for power users)
  • -
  • editors/gnome2-office (office productivity)
  • -
  • devel/gnome2-hacker-tools (development tools)
  • -
+

GNOME, MATE, and Cinnamon for &os; are currently + fully supported on 10.2, 10.1, and 10-STABLE while + support for 9.3, 9-STABLE, and 11.0-CURRENT is provided + on a best effort basis.

-

Upgrading to GNOME 2.32?

+

GNOME is simple and easy to build using the &os; ports + system, but sometimes things simply go wrong. Please + see our Bug reporting + page for more info.

-

If you are upgrading from GNOME 2.30 to GNOME 2.32, read the - Upgrade FAQ for upgrade - instructions.

State of the port

- -

GNOME for &os; is currently fully supported on - 8.4, 8-STABLE, 9.1, 9.2, and 9-STABLE, 10.0 and 10-STABLE while - 11.0-CURRENT is provided on a best effort basis. - Work is being done to replace Gnome 2 with Mate and Gnome3. - There is still plenty left to be done!

- -

One stop solution shop!

- -

GNOME is simple and easy to build using the &os; ports system, but - sometimes things simply go wrong. If GNOME -- or anything that uses - GNOME libraries -- is not building the way it should, simply run the - gnomelogalyzer.sh - tool from the directory of the failed port, and let the gnomelogalyzer - figure out what's wrong and how to fix it!
