GNOME Applets-2.8.1

The GNOME Applets package contains small applications which generally run in the background and display their output to the gnome panel.

Install GNOME Applets by running the following commands:

PRE=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` &&
patch -Np1 -i ../gnome-applets-2.8.1-fix_gswitchit-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=$PRE --libexecdir=$PRE/sbin \
    --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome &&
make tooldir=$PRE/lib/gnome-applets &&
make tooldir=$PRE/lib/gnome-applets install &&
make -C man install-man &&
chmod 644 $PRE/share/gnome/help/{wireless,gtik2_applet2}/C/*.xml &&
unset PRE

--libexecdir=$PRE/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in $GNOME_PREFIX/sbin instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.

--localstatedir=/var/lib: This switch puts ScrollKeeper files in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.

--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome: This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.

tooldir=$PRE/lib/gnome-applets: This puts the gnome-applet internal files in $PRE/lib/gnome-applets instead of $PRE/sbin/gnome-applets.

make -C man install-man: This installs the man-pages in $PRE/man.

The GNOME Applets package contains battstat, cdplayer, charpick, drivemount, geyes, gkb, gtik2, gweather, mini-commander, mixer, modemlights and multiload applets.
