A native GTK+ YaST2 UI !

This code creates a GTK+ plugin for YaST2. This plugin parallel

installs with everything else, and will never be used unless

explicitely invoked on the yast2 command line - ie. it won't break

your system; go-on you know you want to install it.

Build pre-requisites

To make this compile you'll need the following packages installed

(at a minimum):

gcc-c++ cmake gtk2-devel yast2-devtools yast2-core-devel yast2-libyui-devel libzypp-devel

They all are distributed with Suse's CDs.

Building / Installing

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -f CMakeLists.txt

make && sudo make install [1]

[1] - if you want sudo not to ask you a password, add yourself to the

wheel group, and uncomment the related lines in /etc/sudoers

Running

export Y2DEBUG=1

/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-core/libyui/examples/HelloWorld.ycp gtk

From OpenSuse 10.3 on, it should be picked up automatically if you use Gnome.

For other desktops, you can set yast-gtk to be used by editing /etc/sysconfig/yast2 .

In case of oddness append --nothreads to the cmdline,

Also check the log file: ~/.y2log
