= The FreeBSD GNOME Project
|
|
|
|
== What software does the GNOME Team maintain?
|
|
|
|
The GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and Cinnamon desktop environments.
|
|
|
|
== What is GNOME?
|
|
|
|
GNOME is a complete graphical desktop for X, including everything from a window manager to web browsers, audio players, office programs, graphical login programs and more. MATE is a continuation of the old GNOME 2 desktop environment. Cinnamon is originally a fork of GNOME 3's gnome-shell, but grew into its own desktop environment.
|
|
|
|
== How to install these desktop environments?
|
|
|
|
There are some so called meta ports available for installing these desktop environments or parts of them. They are:
|
|
|
|
* gnome3 (full GNOME desktop)
|
|
* gnome3-lite (minimal GNOME desktop)
|
|
* mate (full MATE desktop)
|
|
* mate-lite (minimal MATE desktop)
|
|
* cinnamon
|
|
|
|
The easiest way of installing is to run the following command and replace gnome3 with the desktop environment of choice:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# pkg install gnome3
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Or if you prefer to build from source:
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome3
|
|
# make clean
|
|
# make install clean
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
== State of the port:
|
|
|
|
GNOME, MATE, and Cinnamon for FreeBSD are currently fully supported on 11.1, 11-STABLE, and 10.4, while support for 12.0-CURRENT is provided on a best effort basis.
|
|
|
|
GNOME is simple and easy to build using the FreeBSD ports system, but sometimes things simply go wrong. Please see our link:docs/bugging/[Bug reporting] page for more info.
