As soon as I finish with GNOME, I will add D-BUS and HAL to the book. GNOME natively supports HAL version >0.50 now, and it appears to work well. I've almost got GNOME installed (2.12) and will be updating the book soon. Unfortunately, KDE still want the old HAL API and probably won't work with HAL version >-0.50. I installed KDE before D-BUS and HAL, so I can't say for sure, but I did look at the configure script, and I don't think the newer HAL will work with KDE. I have what I think are good installation methods, and bootscripts already created for both D-BUS and HAL. If you want to send notes, that would be great, don't go to a lot of trouble, just what you think are gotchas. For example, if you start the D-BUS daemon, and then install HAL and try to fire up the HAL daemon, you will not get anywhere. You must shut down the D-BUS daemon after HAL is installed, then restart D-BUS and then start the HAL daemon. I have these projects on the very near (within a week) horizon. 1. Get David to update GTK+-2, Glib-2, ATK and Pango. 2. Add cairo to the book. 3. Add D-BUS to the book. 4. Add HAL to the book. 5. Update GNOME to 2.12.0. Does this give you a good idea of my plans, Matt? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:44:00 up 164 days, 13:17, 3 users, load average: 0.21, 0.06, 0.15 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
