Products

Ximian GNOME 1.4 for HP-UX comprises the following four products.

Product NumberProduct Name
B6852BA

Ximian GNOME 1.4 Desktop for HP-UX 11.0, 11i, and 11i V1.6 (requires GTK+ Support Libraries)

B6848BA

Ximian GNOME 1.4 GTK+ Libraries for HP-UX 11.0, 11i, and 11i V1.6 (required by GNOME Desktop)

B6857BA

Ximian GNOME 1.4 Development Kit for HP-UX 11.0, 11i, and 11i V1.6

B6854BA

Ximian GNOME 1.4 Source Code for HP-UX 11.0, 11i, and 11i V1.6

It is not necessary to install all four products. Most users only need to install the Ximian GNOME desktop and the GTK+ libraries, which are packaged together in a single depot file.

The GTK+ libraries are also provided in their own depot, in case you want to make them available separately to your users (several applications other than GNOME also rely on the GTK+ libraries).

If you want to be able to develop your own GNOME applications, you should also install the Development Kit.

You only need to install the GNOME source code if you want to recompile Ximian GNOME for HP-UX, or examine its internal operation.

For information about how these products are packaged into depots, and links to the depot files, see the Get the Software page.
