I have patched the source of xfce-utils and garcon contains in the .run but I have an error with the compilation of garcon :

garcon-config.c: In function 'garcon_config_lookup':
garcon-config.c:191: error: 'SYSCONFIGDIR' undeclared (first use in this function)
garcon-config.c:191: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
garcon-config.c:191: error: for each function it appears in.)

So I need change garcon/Makefile.in

*** Makefile.in.old    2011-01-20 12:39:19.000000000 +0100
--- Makefile.in    2011-01-20 12:41:26.000000000 +0100

*** 331,336 ****
--- 331,337 ----
      -DGARCON_COMPILATION                        \
      -DGARCON_VERSION_API=\"$(GARCON_VERSION_API)\"            \
      -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"garcon\"                    \
+     -DSYSCONFIGDIR=\"$(sysconfdir)/xdg\"        \
      $(PLATFORM_CFLAGS)
  
  lib_LTLIBRARIES = \

And it works fine.

Thank you for your answer

Hi,

I install xfce 4.8 with the .run. The installation was successful but now it doesn't find the file 'menus/xfce-applications.menu'.
I have installed xfce 4.8 in /usr/local. So, the file exists in /usr/local/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu.
But the menu doesn't found the file if I don't use "Use custom menu file".

So, is it normal ? or is it because the install is in /usr/local ?

Thank you for your answer

P.S : all others installs of xfce has been removed before the installation of 4.8
