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
