Mint 13 XFCE Bootcamp: #8 Compiling Emerald!
PLEASE READ: (Errata: I accidentally cut out the "Make" command in this tutorial video, make sure you run "Make" before running "Make install") Today I will discuss the installation of EMERALD. This tutorial is for LINUX MINT 13 XFCE ONLY. It may or may not work on other distributions. If you are unsuccessful in getting it to work, Google is your friend! I am still a Linux n00bie myself and I do not have all of the answers.
