is the new (unreleased, GNOME 2.x series) system.
|

|

As of bonobo 0.14, OAF is the default activation system for Bonobo.
|
||||
If you want to use OAF, you will need to install the oaf package
|
||||
before building Bonobo. If you want to save a little time and stick
|
||||
with GOAD, you should pass the flag "--enable-oaf=no" to bonobo's

configure script.

Note that Nautilus requires OAF, so if you have built or are

planning to build Nautilus as well, you should use OAF.

- There is absolutely no reason to build using OAF unless you are

also building Nautilus, in which case you should already have it

installed.
