GNOME 2.12 installed. I’ve completed the upgrade for GNOME 2.12. My  FreeBSD installation came with GNOME 2.10, but I wanted to upgrade to the latest stable version. So I started out with cleaning all the 2.10 packages, and compiled entire GNOME 2.10, except for the OpenOffice 2.0, which was installed through package.

The compilation failed a couple of times, since I was doing multiple compilations at the sametime, which was wrong. First I installed meta-port x11/gnome2 then installed x11/gnome2-fifthtoe and x11/gnome-hacker-tools.

Finally all applications are installed and working like a charm! And I’ve installed a couple fo new themes as well. So once again, FreeBSD rocks!

Once I come back, I’ll start building/compiling my own kernel.
