Anyone tried PCMan 0.9 series - if so can you help?
« on: April 22, 2010, 10:24:22 AM »
Hi all

I have pclinuxos 2010 lxde installed on one of my PCs where I am testing various things.  What I would like to do is try the latest build of PCMan - currently 0.9.4. I am up to the basics of unpacking tarballs and compiling from source. I won't cry if I bork my install. :-X

Unfortunately I am really a debian-man (sad I know I know).  I am trying to work out where to get the files and then sort out the dependency issues.  The sourceforge site says I need these:

    *  automake >= 1.9
    * libgtk2.0-dev >= 2.6
    * libglib2.0-dev >= 2.6 (2.10+ is highly recommended)
    * libgamin-dev or libfam-dev (libgamin is better)
    * libstartup-notification0-dev
    * libhal-dev (Required when --enable-hal configure option is used)
    * libdbus-1-dev (Required when --enable-hal configure option is used)
    * libhal-storage-dev (Required when --enable-hal configure option is used)

None of them are in the 2010 repo - presumably too new if they were ever there.

My first question is - would there be a pclinuxos repo that might have these files?  If not, would there be any point in trying them from Mandriva, say?  I presume they have to be in rpm format - I don't want to have to do conversions unless I have to.

Can anyone enlighten me a bit?

TIA

a-task-packager-minimal-2009-1pclos2009.i586.rpm

or

pkgutils-thunar-0.1.4-4pclos2010.i586.rpm


should install what you're looking for.  You will probably also need

glibc-headers-devel-2.6.30-1pclos2010.i586.rpm


Good luck.
