Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!

Thank you very much Ayoli.

Ive rarely had a problem installing global menu, however for some reason I cant compile it. Ive installed it on my laptop and it works, but I get an error on my desktop. Both use intrepid.

Vala installs fine, and with the global menu I have done:
.autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
its when i do make that i get a compile error at the end:

Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 7 warning(s)
make[4]: *** [test-parser.c] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/gnome-globalmenu-0.6/libgnomenu/tests'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/gnome-globalmenu-0.6/libgnomenu'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/gnome-globalmenu-0.6/libgnomenu'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/gnome-globalmenu-0.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

and above that it mentions several 'GLib.Errors'

So sorry to keep bothering you.

Maybe a bad revision ? try to reemove the sources you have, and do again the svn command that checks out the source code and try again.

Hey guys, thank you very much for all your work...It's fantastic.
I'm compiling via svn, and i found a little problem for you
The windows list has a strange refresh, i'm sorry if i am not clear, for example when someone writes me on emesene i don't see the window name in the list until i click on the chat-window with my mouse, writes in it and maybe minimize it (i'm sorry but i haven't caught the right way to make it appear). Sometimes it happens that i close a window, such as the opera browser, and its name remains for some time in the list, until i do something that i haven't understood yet...
I repeat, it's a very small problem, and maybe you've already noticed it by yourself, but i hope this helps...

Tried it just now, but afraid I get exactly the same

How do you install from PPA? Would that mean I dont need to compile myself?

How do you install from PPA? Would that mean I dont need to compile myself?

It means there's a repository you can go to to get it. Go here for instructions.

[Psyphre]

It means there's a repository you can go to to get it. Go here for instructions.

Ah yes I saw those instructions before but I couldnt figure out what to do next.
I added those repo's in my software sources but then what?
I tried searching for global menu or gnome2-globalmenu in synaptic but there were no packages by that name.
I tried going to: apt://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome2-globalmenu/ubuntu?package=gnome2-globalmenu?dist=intrepid?section=main and I get a window that says "choose" but theres nothing to choose from.

Am I doing something wrong?

try this in a terminal :

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome2-globalmenu
