Mini Gtk+ File Manager

Mini Gtk+ File Manager is a lightweight file manager for X. To achieve this goal some code from the Busybox project was used.

It builds with Gtk+ 1.2.10 or 2.x libraries. It contains also a Mini Gtk Text Editor applet.

Installation:

First of all get the Gtk+ 1.2.10 or Gtk+ 2.x libraries
(runtime and development), if they are not already
installed on your system.

Installing Xfprot:

tar -zxvf gtk_file_manager-xx.tar.gz

To compile gtk_file_manager ,cd to the gtk_file_manager dir and just type:

su root
(and provide root password if prompted)
./configure

The configure script if used in a non interactive mode accepts this command line options:
-h, --help print this help, then exit
--with-gtk1 use Gtk+-1.x libraries
--with-gtk2 use Gtk+-2.x libraries
--with-debug enable debug mode
--without-debug disable debug mode

Then type:

make

If you don't receive any error message, you can install gtk_file_manager typing:

make install
or
make install-strip (to install a stripped version of the binary file).

Please remove previous installed versions of gtk_file_manager with make uninstall (see below).

The binaries are installed by default in /usr/local/gtkfm/ with links in /usr/local/bin/ so you have to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable if it is not there already. If you want to change the default install path, change the line:

PREFIX=/usr/local

in the Makefile.

You can uninstall gtk_file_manager any time with:

su root
(and provide root password if prompted)
make uninstall
