Mini Gtk+ File Manager is a small and easy-to-use file management utility designed for X. It features a minimalistic user interface that is perfect for users who need to browse, manage, and organize their files quickly and efficiently.
To install Mini Gtk+ File Manager, users must first obtain the Gtk+ 1.2.10 or Gtk+ 2.x libraries (runtime and development) if they are not already installed on their system. Users can then download the software package and extract its contents by executing the following command: tar -zxvf gtk_file_manager-xx.tar.gz. From there, users can compile the application by navigating to the extracted directory and executing the command "./configure".
The configure script provides non-interactive command line options including enabling/disabling debug mode and specifying the version of the Gtk+ libraries to use. Following configuration, users can then build the software by running the command "make". Assuming no errors are encountered during compilation, the software can be installed using the "make install" or "make install-strip" command.
By default, Mini Gtk+ File Manager will be installed in /usr/local/gtkfm/ with links in /usr/local/bin/. Users can uninstall the software at any time by executing the "make uninstall" command. It's worth noting that the software's installation path can be changed by modifying the PREFIX variable in the Makefile.
This release introduces a number of improvements to the software including the dropping of support for GTK 1.x libraries, improved i18n support, improved menu navigation, and an array of minor bug fixes. Overall, Mini Gtk+ provides users with a reliable and easy-to-use file management solution.
