[SOLVED] building Cinnamon (sid)

[mockturtl]

My bash history will have all the nonsense I installed to get configure happy in sid and lisa -- I'll post that when I get a chance.

Hi.
I followed the steps and installed missing libraries then the cinnamon-session.
When I start the session with cinnamon it shows me some error about gnome-shell and falls back to my default manager (which is Gnome 3).

My bash history will have all the nonsense I installed to get configure happy in sid and lisa -- I'll post that when I get a chance.

This should be close:

Can it be installed on debian or LMDE ?

thanks
mrjive

Edit by Clem: 1.1.4 was successfully installed on Debian Testing.

looks good
and cinnamon-session is already in the mint debian repos
http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Debian

[mockturtl]

Excellent. I haven't had any success with muffin, either.

[GeneC]

Cinnamon 1.2 just showed up in LMDE, but not yet installable.

From Blog
http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=119

[dcihon]

Yea, I tried.
Getting this error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: gir1.2-muffin-3.0

[xircon]

Same here, what next Crumpets? (or Pikelets if you are from the North of England like me).

[zerozero]

i guess clem has to bake those muffins to satisfy cinnamon

[AlbertP]

On Mint 12 you can install dependencies much easier. Enable Source code in Software Sources, then run apt build-dep cinnamon. And then you can compile Cinnamon without having to worry about dependencies.

Tempting, I have a recent backup, enabled Lisa repos:

You might screw up your Debian system adding so many Ubuntu-based stuff.

Just replace deb with deb-src and you've got the source code repo.

Thanks Albert.
Made a clone before trying.

I tried installing muffin first also. It installed, but still not Cinnamon..

Will be keeping an eye on this. Cinnamon looks 'tasty'

Better disable 'Lisa' now, or I will have a real mess.
'SID' is proving to be a tough almost unbreakable old bird.

[zerozero]

ahh you are trying to install it in sid? my attempt was in testing, but i don't believe it would make any difference, the missing deps are basically the same and they have to be ported to debian (i think) or backport the lisa pkgs into lmde (and hope it won't break anything latter down the road )

[GeneC]

I tried with SID and then with testing. No difference.
Yes, "Discretion is the better part of valor".
Going to wait it out, with my 'CREW"
