segusoLand and Xfe

skparkes · 2004-01-15 22:13:22

I'm rather picky about my filemanagers. When I want full blown capabilities, I boot up konqueror, but I don't like it for minute to minute stuff. Right now, I am getting by on Rox. It really isn't a bad file manager, but there is a few things I miss.

Xfe is actually my favorite manager over at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xfe

It's simple, but it does everything I like.

Another one just got mentioned on Osnews. It looks nifty, and I might try building it myself soon. Here it is:

http://segusoland.sourceforge.net/

Just a couple suggested requests.

Thanks,

Shea Parkes

have you ever tried emelfm, mc, or gentoo all are very simple and very light on the resources?

Interesting! Is there a source code... found rpm only.

xfe needs fox as a depend:

I was referring to Segusoland's source code.

fox is available in TUR (see contrasutra's one).
And I've got a package for xfe is someone's interested...

Thanks,

I have tried gentoo, emelfm and just about everything else out there. I really just fall back to Xfe generally. MC for the command line when needed of course.

And did anyone else go check out that SegusoLand thing? It really did look pretty interesting.

And yes, sorry, Xfe does depend on Fox. Actually, specifically the last stable version of fox.

Thanks alot,

orelien post the pkgbuild i want to try it

orelien · 2004-01-16 18:57:27

pkgname=xfe
pkgver=0.54.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An MS-Explorer like file manager for X based on X Win Commander"
url="http://www.roland65.ovh.org/xfe/xfe.html"
depends=('fox')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('4d50faa3153cd1ff4e9f4237926f44b1')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Works with the latest stable fox release (1.0.46).

Actually, latest version is "0.60". I haven't tried it, but your script should still work just fine with the updated version.

I just like Xfe because it has what I need and nothing else.

Thanks,
