One10 <para>The installation of Gnome-&gnome-version; is a large undertaking and one we would 11 like to see you complete with the least amount of stress. One 12 12 of our first goals in this installation is to protect your previously 13 installed software. For absolute protection, we would construct a 14 chroot jail for the installation, but since Gnome-2.2 packages utilize the 15 --prefix= option for configure, we will use that to fulfill our goal. 16 There are two locations usable for our purposes, 17 <filename>/usr/local</filename> and <filename>/opt/package</filename>. 18 Since <filename>/usr/local</filename> is not utilized any where in the 19 BLFS book, installation there would closely parallel a Gnome-2.2 20 installation using --prefix=/usr. However, it is not 21 entirely safe for us to assume that your installation does not have any 22 files in <filename>/usr/local</filename>. Therefore we are going to 23 install with --prefix=/opt/gnome2. This will require additional edits 24 which are covered on the pre-installation page. Removal of Gnome-2.2 for 25 any reason is as easy as removing the edits from the pre-installation 26 page and issue the following commands: 27 <screen><userinput>rm /opt/gnome-2.2 -r && 28 rm /etc/gnome -r</userinput></screen></para> 13 installed software, especially if you are testing Gnome on your machine. 14 Gnome-&gnome-version; packages utilize the --prefix= option for configure, so we will 15 use that and an Environment variable (GNOME_PREFIX) to add flexibility to 16 the install.</para> 29 17 30 <para>If your system was completely built per LFS 4.0 and BLFS 31 instructions, you have a very good chance of using Gnome-2.2 18 <para>If you know that you want Gnome as your desktop, it is recommended that 19 you install with --prefix=/usr. If you are not sure that you are going 20 to keep Gnome on your installation, it is recommended that you install with 21 --prefix=/opt/gnome-&gnome-version;. Setting the Environment variable and the 22 additional edits required by the second option are covered on the 23 pre-installation page.</para> 24 25 <para>If you choose the second option, removal of Gnome-2.2 is as easy as removing the edits from the pre-installation page and issue the following commands: 26 <screen><userinput>rm /opt/gnome-&gnome-version; -r </userinput></screen></para> 27 28 <para>If your system was completely built per LFS and BLFS 29 instructions, you have a very good chance of using Gnome-&gnome-version; 32 30 after your first install. If you are a typical LFS user, you have made 33 31 modifications to the instructions along the way knowing that you have to 34 32 take those modifications into account on future installations. You 35 should have no problems integrating Gnome- 2.2into your unique setup, but33 should have no problems integrating Gnome-&gnome-version; into your unique setup, but 36 34 you will have 28 to 33 packages installed before you can run Gnome 37 35 through any testing (assuming your window manager is preinstalled and 38 36 tested). We would anticipate that you will be rebuilding gnome at least 39 once to make adjustments for your setup. If this is the only chapter you 40 are utilizing from the BLFS book, we think you should be successful by 41 following these instructions, but you may find problems along the way 42 that we may or may not be able to help you though on the blfs-support mailing 43 list.</para> 44 45 <para>If you don't need the Gnome 1.4 library environment, you may skip 46 pages that are headed (Gnome 1.4).</para> 37 once to make adjustments for your setup.</para> 47 38 48 39 <para>If you are building a Gnome 1.4 desktop environment, you would 49 install those labeled pages <emphasis>and</emphasis> any dependancies 50 listed on those pages whether labeled or not.

Gnome packages without pages are simply installed with: 52 41 <screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome && 53 42 make && … … 60 49 <filename>/var</filename>.
