Darwin 10.4 - Gnome
Hello,
I was curious about how one would go about installing gnome on darwin. As far as I know it must be harder than FreeBSD because there doesn't seem to be any ports for it.
Would you have to first set up a build environment (GCC etc...) and then compile it from scratch? or is there an easier way?
Would be quite a novelty using cheap arse Mac OS X
Thanks,

gnome-session
GNOME(1) General Commands Manual GNOME(1)
gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--choosesession] [--failsafe] [--purge-delay=DELAY] [--warn-delay=DELAY] [--suicide-delay=DELAY] [session-name]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
xdm, or from your X startup scripts). It will load either your last session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined
by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).
You can optionally specify a specific session name to restore.
gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.
gnome-session uses the contents of the ~/.gnome/session file for starting up as specified by the "Current Sesssion" key in the
~/.gnome/session-options file. Various default values are provided in case the file entry does not exist.
If the session file does not exist, gnome-session will use the contents of the /usr/share/gnome/default.session file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--choose-session=ARG
User can specify a session to load, as opposed to the session specified in the ~/.gnome/session-options file. If that entry does not
exist in the ~/.gnome/session file (or if that file doesn't exist), it will use the default session and all saves to that session
will be to the new session name.
--failsafe
Fail safe operations mode: only reads saved sessions from the default.session file.
--purge-delay=ARG
The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to register, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value:
30,000 milliseconds).
--warn-delay=ARG
The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to respond, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value:
10,000 milliseconds).
--suicide-delay=ARG
The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to die, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 10,000
milliseconds).
ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari-
able. [ xref to a manpage where this is documented. ] gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child pro-
cesses.
SESSION_MANAGER
This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.
DISPLAY
This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.
SEE ALSO
default.session(5),gnome-session-save(1)
BUGS
If you find bugs in the gnome-session program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with the GNOME
libraries distribution.
