build-environment

[...NoiK]

Hi,

We're 2 students from the netherlands. For a project we need to
develop a plugin for the thunar filemanager. We're not very familair
with the whole concept of developping in linux.
The first thing we need to do is to create a build environment to
start developping.

The thing we stumble upon is how to compile thunar without messing
with the whole xfce idea.
we've tried to uninstall thunar, but it also deletes dependencies that
make the environment unworkable.

Does anyone has tips to give us a start to the project.

Kind regards,
Kees & Stefan.
