Installation instructions
This page offers several different methods to install the patched Gtk:
- you can use [#deb deb packages].
- you can use the standard [#autotools autotools] (configure/make/make install) method.
- you can use the [#apt-build apt-build] method (you will build debs).
You can as well build the applet from the source code

Install using autotools
First method :
We're first going to install the mac menu applet:
-Download this file (note: you must be a member of ubuntuforums.org to be able to download it) http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=47781&d=1193338299
-Open a terminal, go to the directory where you've downloaded the file using cd and execute the following command lines.
Code:
tar jxvf gnome-macmenu-applet-1.0.11.tar.bz2 cd gnome-macmenu-applet-1.0.11 sudo cp gnome-macmenu-applet /usr/lib/gnome-applets/ sudo cp GNOME_MacMenuApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/
We're now gonna patch gtk+ with a gtk+ patch
-But we need depandancies installed first. I don't know what is needed exactly, here is the list of dev packages I have:
Code:
autotools-dev comerr-dev dpkg-dev libart-2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libaudiofile-dev libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-glib-dev libbonobo2-dev libbonoboui2-dev libc6-dev libcairo-directfb2-dev libcairo2-dev libcupsys2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdirectfb-dev libesd0-dev libexpat1-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libgail-dev libgconf2-dev libgcrypt11-dev libgdk-pixbuf-dev libglade2-dev libglib1.2-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeui-dev libgnomevfs2-dev libgnutls-dev libgpg-error-dev libgtk1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libice-dev libidl-dev libjpeg62-dev libkrb5-dev liblzo2-dev libopencdk8-dev liborbit2-dev libpanel-applet2-dev libpango1.0-dev libpng12-dev libpopt-dev libselinux1-dev libsepol1-dev libsm-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libstdc++6-4.1-dev libsysfs-dev libtasn1-3-dev libtiff4-dev libusplash-dev libwnck-dev libx11-dev libxau-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxdamage-dev libxdmcp-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxft-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxkbfile-dev libxml2-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxres-dev libxt-dev linux-libc-dev x11proto-composite-dev x11proto-core-dev x11proto-damage-dev x11proto-fixes-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-render-dev x11proto-resource-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev xtrans-dev xutils-dev zlib1g-dev
you can install them before patching gtk+ by typing Code:
sudo apt-get install ...packages from the list above...
Then we're starting the patching itself.
-Download this file (note: you must be a member of ubuntuforums.org to be able to download it) http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=47782&d=1193338357
-Open a terminal, go to the directory where you've downloaded the file using cd and execute the following command lines.
Code:
gzip -d gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff.gz sudo apt-get install build-essential apt-get source gtk+2.0 tar zxvf gtk+2.0_2.12.0.orig.tar.gz cd gtk+2.0-2.12.0 patch -p0 < ../gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install
NOTE Be Patient, this compiles from source, which will take considerably longer than installing from the Binary Package (Binary ~1 Minute | Source ~30 Minutes)BRBR
You're now ready to use all the mac menu goodness ! Please report in the forum thread any problems you might have encountered.
Install using apt-build
Second method :
Install the mac menu applet deb package (note: you must be a member of ubuntuforums.org to be able to download it: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=47899&d=1193414016) , then in a terminal, type in this to install apt-build
Code:
sudo apt-get install apt-build
Choose to add apt-build repository to your sources.list when asked.
After, I told apt-build to get libgtk2.0-0 source package (apt-build takes care of the build deps for you, ie: -dev packages) You need to have the Ubuntu sources repositories enabled (menu System > Administration > Software sources, then pick Ubuntu software tab and check Source Code box).
Code:
sudo apt-build source libgtk2.0-0
Next step was to copy the downloaded patch [#two 2] from where is was (on the desktop in _this_ case, replace "~/Desktop/" with the path where you downloaded the gzipped patch) to the libgtk2.0-0 source package directory If you also want to remove the underlines use the patch 098_no_label_underline.patch [#three 3]
First, uncompress 099_mac_menubar.patch.gz :
Code:
gzip -d ~/Desktop/099_mac_menubar.patch.gz
then copy the patches to the patches directory (assuming they are on your Desktop, if it's not the case replace ~/Desktop/ with the path were the patches are located)
Code:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/099_mac_menubar.patch /var/cache/apt-build/build/gtk+2.0-2.12.0/debian/patches/ sudo cp ~/Desktop/098_no_label_underline.patch /var/cache/apt-build/build/gtk+2.0-2.12.0/debian/patches/
And, add the name of the patches you have added (i.e."099_mac_menubar.patch", "098_no_label_underline.patch")to the debian/patches/series list
Code:
sudo gedit /var/cache/apt-build/build/gtk+2.0-2.12.0/debian/patches/series
Now we use use apt-build to build the packages
Code:
sudo apt-build install libgtk2.0-0
NOTE Be Patient, this compiles from source, which will take considerably longer than installing from the Binary Package (Binary ~1 Minute | Source ~30 Minutes)BRBR After that you'll have an update for libgtk in your update manager (it won't install automatically because local apt-build repository isn't signed), let update manager install them and finally, add the applet to the top panel. Now you need to log out/in gnome to see the changes.
Uninstallation instruction (only for this second method) : If you have used the apt-build method to install the patched gtk do this to uninstall :
1. Go to menu system > administration > software sources. Pick the “third party software” tab, and uncheck apt-build repository.
2. Then in a terminal type in:
Code: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y libgtk2.0-0
3. Logout / in gnome to apply changes.
Compile it from the source code
For those who want/need to compile themselves the mac menu applet (ie: 64bits)
Install this before
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libwnck-dev libpanelappletmm-2.6-dev
Then unpack the applet source and go in its folder
Code:
tar -xvzf macmenu-applet-0.1.tar.gz cd macmenu-applet-0.1/
Then compile and install
Code:
make sudo make install
NOTE Be Patient, this compiles from source, which will take considerably longer than installing from the Binary Package (Binary ~1 Minute | Source ~30 Minutes)BR
