xfce4 on Suse 81

[Andreas Ott]

If you want to be unfriendly feel free.

the homepage it says:
Building the modules should be a simple matter of typing.

Ok sorry I might be too stupid for typing but don't you think this should
run with major distributions? Do you always need the devel packages when
configering modules from source - well this is the first one for me! Ok fine
but it could be stated somewhere, what do you think?

atze.

I'm sorry if I sound a bit unfriendly, but are you sure you want to run
a development version of xfce4? It seems you don't have very much
experience with building applications from source.

There is a good change you will find things not working as expected or
even at all and we do expect people to be able to recover from that.

On the other hand, it ususally works -- I haven't had any real problems
with it for months -- so it's not as bad as I make it sound.

Anyway, if you want to try, by all means do, but please remember this is
development code and there are reasons it is not released yet.

greetings,
	Jasper
