Building gnome-terminal3 on powerpc.
Cd to work and use ./configure --disable-schemas-install --with-gtk=3.0

sparc64: gnome panel needs libwnck. Cd to work/gnome-panel*
Run ./configure --enable-introspection --disable-schemas-compile
--disable-deprecation-flags --disable-schemas-install --disable_gtk_doc
--disable_gtk_doc_html --disable_gtk_doc_pdf --with_help_dir=no
--with_omf_dir=no --with_in_process_applets=none
There is a problem with xml2po.
Gnome-desktop3 must be built before gnome-panel3
You can apply these options to both architectures mentiond here.

gnome-session3 on powerpc needs the path to gconf-sanity-check-2. The
configure file must be edited to use gconf-sanity-check-1.

sparc64: build the dependencies listed in makefile for gnome-panel3 first.

gnome-desktop3: Go to work/gnome-desktop.
Vi configure. Place a #sign before: enable_deprecation_flags,
enable_desktop_docs, with_help_dir, with_omf_dir, with_help_formats,
with_html_dir, enable_gtk_doc, enable_gtk_doc_html, enable_gtk_doc_pdf,
with_pnp_ids_path

rerun ./configure --disable-desktop-docs after saving the changes
run gmake
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome-desktop3
run make install
run make clean

return to /usr/ports/x11/gnome-panel3
you need libwnck3 to build

cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome-panel3/work/*panel*
./configure
gmake
 It breaks here with xml2po . This should help you get started. Those
working with gnome will know how to test out what arguments are exactly
needed.


Everything else for this can be referenced at the freebsd gnome mailing
list.
if you get xml2po to work correctly, let me know what you did.

Please forgive the bad grammar.
