Revision as of 13:57, 2 October 2010
Documentation quick access |
|
The latest versions of sawfish and its platforms are:
You also need
- gtk+ >= 2.12
- pango (optional, but recommended for UTF-8 support)
- gdk-pixbuf-xlib OR imlib1 (imlib2 is currently not supported)
- GNU autotools to compile.
Precompiled packages
Several Linux distributions include precompiled packages for sawfish.
Debian
See sawfish. Also look for pager and other extras.
3rd party builds
Additionally you can find pre-built GIT snapshots for Debian/Unstable (AMD64 and Source) in Christopher Bratusek's repo:
deb http://apt.nanolx.org/ photonic main deb-src http://apt.nanolx.org/ photonic main
For getting the public key, issue:
wget http://apt.nanolx.org/conf/apt-key.asc apt-key add apt-key.asc
Ubuntu
See Ubuntu. It uses Debian derived packages.
Other Distros
Other Distributions known to ship Sawfish in their repos (sometimes in Contrib or User repos):
- GNU/Linux
- Arch Linux
- ALT Linux
- Gentoo Linux
- openSuSE
- Mandriva
- Frugalware
- T2 Linux
- BSD
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- FreeBSD
GIT
The latest development sources are stored in git repository. (With no guarantees, or even they may not compile. Sawfish is quite stable, so it is rare, though.)
- The web git interfaces are: sawfish, librep, and rep-gtk.
- Unofficial tarball of the snapshot of sawfish and librep. They may be a bit older than the official git repository.
Remark on versions
If the current release of the Sawfish is, say, 1.2.3, then the git source is usually given the version 1.2.4 or 1.3.0, that is of the next (planned) release.
Sometimes you have to install the latest librep and rep-gtk, too. Read the "News" well.
Preparation
For the first time, do
Without write access
git clone git://git.gnome.org/librep git clone git://git.gnome.org/rep-gtk git clone git://git.gnome.org/sawfish
With write access
git clone git+ssh://USERNAME@git.gnome.org/git/librep git clone git+ssh://USERNAME@git.gnome.org/git/rep-gtk git clone git+ssh://USERNAME@git.gnome.org/git/sawfish
Having all three takes about 40M disk space. Once you "cloned" and have the local repositories, you can update them with:
git pull
in each directory. (Far faster than clone.)
Accessing a branch
Without write access
git clone git://git.gnome.org/sawfish cd sawfish git branch -r # lists all remote branches # Suppose you like sawfish-1.5.0 series git checkout remotes/origin/sawfish-1.5.0 # now you're on the sawfish 1.5x BRANCH
With write access
git clone git+ssh://USERNAME@git.gnome.org/git/sawfish cd sawfish git branch -r # lists all remote branches # Suppose you like sawfish-1.5.0 series git branch --track -b sawfish-1.5.0 remotes/origin/sawfish-1.5.0 # now you're on the sawfish 1.5x BRANCH # with ability to push changes to the remote
Compilation
To compile the source, you need automake and autoconf. automake 1.10 and autoconf >= 2.60 have been tested and are known to work.
After getting the source tree, you need to run
autogen.sh
Troubleshooting
The above step may fail if aclocal cannot find the autoconf macros for any of the compile-time requisites. In that case, look for them (they are the files from your -devel packages with an .m4 extension) and add their location to your aclocal call, as
aclocal -I /some/dir -I /some/other/dir
In some cases you need to install the packages where the missing macros are located. For example:
pinocchio@balocchi ~/s/sawfish> aclocal aclocal:configure.in:148: warning: macro `AM_PATH_REP' not found in library aclocal:configure.in:229: warning: macro `AM_PATH_GTK_2_0' not found in library
With some guessing, you should be able to figure out in which package are located these macros: for example in this case they're installed in the librep-dev and libgtk-2.0-dev packages (Debian/Ubuntu). By installing these packages, the corresponding macros will be installed in /usr/share/aclocal, where they're looked up by aclocal, and you shouldn't get error messages anymore.
Other repositories
If someone provides their own git repository access, then you can use them in the following way:
# preparation git remote add foobar git://foo.bar/baz git fetch foobar # list remote branches git branch -r git branch --track foo-tracker foobar/foo-branch # once you do above, do the following to pull in the HEAD: git checkout foo-tracker git pull
Git ebuilds for Gentoo Linux
Fuchur has made ebuilds here.
Fuchur also suggested a good way to try them (in svn) in Gentoo here.
Old issues
For old sources, you have to run, instead of autogen.sh
, aclocal
and autoconf
before the usual ./configure
)
SVN
The subversion repository is not updated any more.
