GNOME on OSX?

[d1taylor]

I have a pretty solid X window server running on my Jaguar systems (Tenon's Xtools, a beta Jag-compatible release) and would really - really - like to be able to run GNOME 2.0 within that environment. I'm interested in OpenOffice too, but, alas, don't have the time / bandwidth to help debug the work in progress. :-(

Anyone have any luck beating GNOME into submission without booting into Yellow Dog or similar? I'd love to hear about it!!

Thanks.

I've got Gnome installed but I don't have 2.0 I'm pretty sure it's 1 dot something. It was easy using Fink.

Glad to know that, but I am particularly interested in the 2.0 release of GNOME...

Red Hat is pretty dang cool, you should check it out.

Maybe he's confused, thinking that RedHat is a window manager???

 

[kommakazi]

most likely.

So not to sound cranky, but does anyone have any information about running GNOME 2.0 within the Jaguar environment? I imagine there's a group of folk porting/testing... any suggestions on how to find 'em? Thanks!!

Try contacting the maintainer of the fink gnome package, or asking your question on the fink-devel mailing list.
