Installation of GNOME Libraries

The installation process expects a games group to exist on the system. If you have not previously created this group, issue the following command as the root user: 

groupadd -g 60 games

Install GNOME Libraries by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../gnome-libs-1.4.2-gcc4-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome-1.4 --disable-gtk-doc &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
