gnome-menus

The gnome-menus project is a useful tool for those using the GNOME desktop environment. As part of the larger GNOME project, this package is free to use and contains an implementation of the "Desktop Menu Specification" draft from freedesktop.org. Along with this, it also includes the GNOME menu layout configuration files, .directory files and various other menu related utility programs.

When it comes to installation, there are a few steps to take. Users should first navigate to the directory containing the package's source code and configure it for their specific system by typing "./configure" (note: "sh ./configure" may be necessary for those using csh on an old version of System V to prevent csh from trying to execute configure itself). While the package configures, there may be some messages about what features it is checking for. After configuring, users can then compile the package by typing "make"; optionally, "make check" can be used to run any self-tests that come with the package. Finally, users can install the programs and any data files and documentation by typing "make install". If users want to remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory, they can type "make clean". To also remove the files that "configure" created, type "make distclean". There is also a "make maintainer-clean" target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If it is used, users may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

Overall, the gnome-menus package is a well-designed tool that will be a great addition to any GNOME user's desktop environment. Its user-friendly installation process and inclusion of several menu-related configurations make this package a must-have for GNOME users.
