## Installation of GNOME Menus

### Note

If you are upgrading from GNOME-3.28.x or GNOME-3.30.x, a command must be run to reset the menu structure. This is due to a major change involving Sundry application folder removal. If you are upgrading, run the following command (as root), and then log in and out of your session.

    gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.app-folders

Install GNOME Menus by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr \
                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                --disable-static &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

## Contents

Installed Programs: None
Installed Libraries: libgnome-menu-3.so
Installed Directories: /etc/xdg/menus, /usr/include/gnome-menus-3.0, and /usr/share/desktop-directories

### Short Descriptions

`libgnome-menu.so` | contains functions required to support GNOME's implementation of the Desktop Menu Specification.
