Installation of GNOME Menus

[Note]

Note

If you are upgrading from GNOME-3.28.x or GNOME-3.30.x, a command must be run to reset the menu structure. This is due to a major change involving Sundry application folder removal. If you are upgrading, run the following command (as root), and then log in and out of your session. 

gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.app-folders

Install GNOME Menus by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
