Cheat-sheet of getting, building, running and debugging gnome-main-menu

• check out source - svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-main-menu/trunk gnome-main-menu
• pull down devel patterns - in YAST run "Software Management". Select "Patterns" in the filter. Install the "C/C++" and the "GNOME" development patterns"
• build with debug on and optimizations off for better debugging - './autogen.sh CFLAGS="-g -O0"'
• to run from your source build use the wrapper scripts to setup the libs correctly
  • to run main-menu - killall main-menu, <src_dir>/main-menu/src/main-menu, then reload applet
  • to debug - "libtool --mode=execute gdb <src_dir>/main-menu/src/main-menu"
