The gnome-menus package contains
an implementation of the draft “Desktop
Menu Specification” from freedesktop.org (http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec).
Also contained are the GNOME menu
layout configuration files, .directory
files and a menu related utility
program.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-6.5 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-menus
The instructions below are based on installing the package into a
GNOME-2 environment. If, for whatever reason, you're installing
this package without having ORBit2 and the core GNOME-2 libraries
installed, you'll need to modify the --prefix=
parameter on the configure script to point to
your desired installation path (e.g., --prefix=/usr
).
Install gnome-menus by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2 && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix
ORBit-2.0)
: Setting the prefix using this parameter
instead of with $GNOME_PREFIX
will
ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation
environment and the package will be installed in the correct
location.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2
: This
parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in
/etc/gnome/2.30.2
instead of
$GNOME_PREFIX/etc
. Additionally (if
applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
So that GNOME can find the
desktop configuration files, ensure you set the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
environment variable in the
individual user's profiles, or in the system profile (use this
option if you will be running GDM) as shown below (you may add
additional directories, separated with colons, if desired):
echo "export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/gnome/2.30.2/xdg" \ > /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh
So that GNOME can find the
data to populate the menus, ensure you set the XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable in the
individual user's profiles, or in the system profile as shown
below (you may add additional directories, separated with
colons, if desired):
echo "export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GNOME_PREFIX/share:\ /usr/share:/usr/local/share" >> /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh
If your GNOME installation
prefix is anything other than /usr
and you have Python installed, you need to update the
PYTHONPATH
environment variable so
that the gmenu
module can be
located by Python. Set the
variable in the system profile, or in individual user's
profiles as shown below:
echo "export PYTHONPATH=\$PYTHONPATH:$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/python2.7/site-packages/GMenuSimpleEditor" \ >> /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh
