What is GNOME?
GNOME is a complete desktop environment, and a
comprehensive suite of applications. In GNOME,
everything is easy to use, attractive, powerful,
and works the way you expect.
The major components of GNOME are the
GNOME desktop, a
straightforward window-based desktop environment, and the
GNOME development
platform, a collection of application-development
tools and libraries.
The FreeBSD GNOME Project is a team of devoted
committers and users that manage the integration
of GNOME and FreeBSD.
Upgrading to GNOME 2.12?
If you are upgrading from GNOME 2.10 to GNOME 2.12, read the
Upgrade FAQ for upgrade
instructions, and be sure to use the
upgrade script!
State of the port
GNOME for FreeBSD is currently supported on
5-STABLE, 6-STABLE, 7-CURRENT,
5.3, 5.4, and 6.0.
Most of GNOME has been ported to FreeBSD, but there is still
plenty left to be done!
Simple solutions to build problems - quickly!
GNOME is simple and easy to build using the FreeBSD ports system, but
sometimes things simply go wrong. If GNOME -- or anything that uses
GNOME libraries -- is not building the way it should, simply run the
gnomelogalyzer.sh
tool from the directory of the failed port, and let the gnomelogalyzer
figure out what's wrong and how to fix it!
