First of all, let me apologize for the previous emails I sent about this
combination on this forum. I was using a webmail and somehow my messages got
truncated. That was kind of frustrating.
This being said, here is how I succeeded to get FreeBSD + GNUstep + etoile
working:
First I compiled the necessary packages:
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnustep-app
make install
make distclean
This might take quiet a while... ;)
Then I added in /etc/csh.cshrc the line:
source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh
and in /etc/profile the line:
. /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
then in ~/.xession:
opentool etoile_system
There was a little hack that I had to do (this should be corrected soon
though), I had to extract from etoile_0+20060917+dfsg.orig.tar.gz the
setup.sh script and run it by hand. This script basically creates links where
they are needed...
And then voila!
startx or just login from xdm, you will get etoile working on a GNUstep based
system...
My first impressions about it:
- It's a 0.1 and it shows. However this is very promising
- Emacs 23 did not work for me
- The GNUstep look and feel is still very present. I did not succeed to change
the theme with Camaelon (I did not try hard though...)
