Installation of <application>XFce</application>
XFce now distributes as a
TAR ball of
base packages and module packages. These instructions will only cover
the bare minimum to run the application. The remaining modules would
all follow the same pattern which will soon become obvious.
Install XFce by running the following commands:
cd src &&
tar xzvf libxfce4util-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd libxfce4util-&xfce-version; &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
tar xzvf libxfcegui4-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd libxfcegui4-&xfce-version; &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
tar xzvf libxfce4mcs-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd libxfce4mcs-&xfce-version; &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
tar xzvf xfce-mcs-manager-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd xfce-mcs-manager-&xfce-version; &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
tar xzvf xfwm4-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd xfwm4-&xfce-version; &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
tar xzvf xfdesktop-&xfce-version;.tar.gz &&
cd xfdesktop-&xfce-version; &&
