Hi! |

I think it is wonderful to have a distribution that finally *does* put |
15 |
things this way. I think it is better to fix those programs that |
16 |
doesn't compile when GNOME (or KDE, mozilla) is located in other |
17 |
locations than /usr since they are broken. They should be using |
18 |
'gnome-config' in there Makefile (if they don't use auto*). |
19 |
|
20 |
gnome-config --cflags libgnomeui for includes |
21 |
gnome-config --libs libgnomeui for libs |
22 |
|
23 |
If the configure-script is broken you can try to execute it with: |
24 |
|
25 |
CFLAGS="-I/opt/gnome/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnome/lib" ./configure |
26 |
