Smooth GTK Themes on Solaris 10.

Idle Hands from the album “R.I.P” by The Murder City Devils

If you are looking for gtk-smooth-engine support in the JDS environment that ships with Solaris 10, it’s not there. Luckily it’s relatively easy to add. Download the latest version of the source code from the project site, unpack it, and issue the following commands:

# LDFLAGS=-R/usr/sfw/lib ./configure --enable-gtk-2 --prefix=/usr \
--with-x
# make
# make install

This will place libsmooth.so with the other GTK theme engines in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4/engines/ where it will be accessible to the gnome-theme-manager in JDS. It will also keep the links to the appropriate libraries correct so no LD_LIBRARY_PATH-foo is needed.
