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-wm
GNOME(1) General Commands Manual GNOME(1)
gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session
SYNOPSIS
gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME
compliant window manager.
The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable. If a --default-wm option is
given the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set. If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it
is the same as if no default was given.
The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.
ENVIRONMENT
The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.
PERSISTENT SETTINGS
The program stores the current selection of a window manager in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default
SEE ALSO
gnome-session(1),default.session(5)
BUGS
If you find bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with the GNOME libraries
distribution.
