How to install gnome-devel in slackware11
 
I want to build fvwm2.5.18 from source code in my system . After configuration , it says :
Quote:
With GNOME libs support in FvwmGtk? no: Can't find working gnome-config
So , gnome-devel is needed here. But I can't find this tgz package from internet.Who can tell me how to install it ?

Looks like you need to compile the GNOME libs. Does Fvwm really need GNOME libs ? Or is it optional ?

Does it give you an error ?

Try running make and see if it succeeds. Sounds like it will -if configure fifished without fatal errors. There is no gnome-devel package. Each package of gnome will install it's own headers when applicable. gnome-config is part of the gnome-lbs package, but you need to build 4-5 other things to build gnome-libs. However, if you don't mind installing pre-compiled binaries you may be ablr to get by with just the gnome-libs package.
I have a small project area where I keep about 30 packages which proide basic gnome-compatibility:

I'm not sure. Mybe it's optional. Becanse with that report,I can bulid my fvwm2.5.18 successfully. I don't know for what gnome-devel is used here.

It's probably optional ...

You're right. I found that in fvwm2.5.18/INSTALL.fvwm:
Quote:
It is safe *not* to compile in the following features:
bidi (not needed if you don't plan to read Arabic and Hebrew)
gnome-libs (really not needed, used only in FvwmGtk for minor things)

thnak you for your packages.
I,ve installed packages in Milestone 1. But configuration also report message for lack gnome-config.
When I checked config.log , I found it will check gnomeConf.sh in gnome-libs' directory. Does gnome -lib surely contain gnomeConf.sh ?

Why in the world would you install my packages if you already have a full gnome installation?

I installed full Dropline gnome before. But when i built fvwm2.5.18, it reported missing gnome-config. So I posted this thread here.
I didn't know your gnome-lib would replace the lib of dropline gnome. So the error is that.
