FreeBSD has ports and packages for various GNOME
applications (including Gnumeric) as well as a port for the
entire GNOME project that will install all GNOME-specific
programs via dependencies. If you have the CDROM mounted under
/cdrom (the name of the mountpoint
is important) or you have a working
internet connection and the time to download for a while, you
can install GNOME on your FreeBSD box (3.1 or later, possibly
early as well) by typing:
$ cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome && make install |
To learn more about the FreeBSD Ports Collection you can
visit http://www.freebsd.org/ports. If you
don't have an internet connection, but do have a docs
distribution, you can also find more information at
/usr/share/doc/handbook23.html. This
document will also tell you how to install GNOME as pre-built
packages (binaries) using pkg_add, if you
have the CDROM. Currently (for 3.1-RELEASE), you will need to
install the following packages: gnomelibs,
gnomeaudio, gnomecore,
gnomegames,
gnomeprint, gnumeric,
and libgtop. A listing of the latest
versions available can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/gnome.html.
