|

19 | <para>This chapter presents the instructions to install a complete
|
---|
20 | GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor; desktop environment. The order of
|
---|
21 | the installed packages follows the build order defined by the GNOME
|
---|
22 | development team and has been thoroughly tested by the BLFS team.
|
---|
23 | You need to be building GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor; on top of a system
|
---|
24 | running <application>Systemd</application>.
|
---|
25 | </para>
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | <para>The installation of GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor; is a
|
---|
28 | large undertaking and one we would like to see you complete with the least
|
---|
29 | amount of stress.</para>
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | <para>To install GNOME as your desktop of choice, it is recommended that you
|
---|
32 | install using <option>--prefix=/usr</option>.</para>
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | <para>If your system was completely built per LFS and BLFS instructions,
|
---|
35 | you have a very good chance of using
|
---|
36 | GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor; after your first installation. If
|
---|
37 | you are a typical LFS user, you have made modifications to the instructions
|
---|
38 | along the way knowing that you have to take those modifications into account
|
---|
39 | on future installations. You should have no problems integrating
|
---|
40 | GNOME-&gnome-version;&gnome-minor; into your unique setup, but you
|
---|
41 | will have to install well over 50 packages before you can run GNOME through
|
---|
42 | any testing (assuming your windowing system is preinstalled and tested). You
|
---|
43 | should anticipate that you will be rebuilding GNOME at least once to make
|
---|
44 | adjustments for your setup.</para>
