Installing NVU - hijinks - 2004-05-17

If you haven't heard of NVU and you do webdesign.. well then you are missing out. the people that brough us lindows created a really nice web design tool to target all the windows webdesigners who say they'd switch if it wasn't for the lack of a good web design tool in linux. Yes you can run dreamweaver in wine.. but its slow and some features just don't work at all. So here is how you install NVU

you want to make sure you have these rpms install

Code:
gcc

libIDL

libIDL-devel

libstdc++-devel

compat-gcc-c++

gcc-c++

compat-libstdc++

compat-libstdc++-devel

libstdc++

cvs

once you have those rpms installed.. its time to install NVU. This is built off the mozilla 1.7b cvs source code. So you will run these commands

Code:
mkdir mozilla

cd mozilla

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk

wget http://www.nvu.com/download/linux/.mozconfig

make -f client.mk pull_all

wget http://www.nvu.com/download/nvu-0.20-source.tar.gz

tar xfz nvu-0.20-source.tar.gz

wget http://www.nvu.com/download/trunk-0.20.patch.gz

gunzip trunk-0.20.patch.gz

patch -p 0 < trunk-0.20.patch

make -f client.mk build_all

now its compiled you can try to run

Code:
./dist/bin/nvu

if you want to install it simply run make install and it should install nvu into /usr/local/bin
