hey people!!
I intend to install Gnome 3 on My Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have found these instructions by goggling around a bit.
need to verify if this is fine and will not break anything.
1) Install Dependencies
Run this command to install the GNOME Shell dependencies.
$ sudo apt-get install curl libtiff4-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libcroco3-dev xulrunner-dev mesa-utils mesa-common-dev libreadline5-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libwnck-dev librsvg2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-menu-dev libffi-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev gtk-doc-tools gnome-common git-core flex bison automake build-essential icon-naming-utils autopoint libvorbis-dev libpam-dev libgcrypt-dev libtasn1-dev libtasn1-3-bin libgnome-keyring-dev libupower-glib-dev libxklavier16 libxklavier-dev xserver-xephyr python-dev libpulse-dev libjasper-dev jhbuild libgtop2-dev libsqlite3-dev libproxy-dev libdb-dev libproxy-dev libcups2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
2) Download the Source
Get the script to setup your jhbuild environment.
$ wget http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-sh...build-setup.sh
Make the script executable.
$ chmod +x gnome-shell-build-setup.sh
Execute the script. This will install jhbuild.
$ ./gnome-shell-build-setup.sh
3) Build GNOME 3
This command will download the latest source code and build GNOME 3. GNOME Shell includes 40+ packages that need to be downloaded and built. This can take a significant amount of time to complete so be patient.
$ jhbuild build
4) Keep GNOME 3 Up to Date
You are running the bleeding edge version of GNOME 3 and because of this the code in the git repositories will be constantly changing. To test the latest changes after your initial insallation simply run the following command. This automatically update your local copy of the source code and rebuild if there are any changes to GNOME 3 package or its dependencies.
$ jhbuild build
Starting GNOME Shell
Alt+F2 and enter:
$ ~/gnome-shell/install/bin/gnome-shell –-replace
Stopping GNOME Shell
To exit and return to your default Gnome 2 hit Alt+F2 and enter:
debugexit
Thanks for your assistance!
