You can just install the main pet package (and NLS if non english language)
The code is only posted to inform users of the compile time options that it was compiled with... in case someone wants to compile it differently or take it on as maintainer.

Note the --disable-desktop-integration flag (Rox does this normally so support is disabled - if you want to REPLACE rox, you will need to recompile with --disable-desktop-integration)

Yes it is - I've got it working on Puppeee.

But it's a bit of a pain because all the mime types are set up for Rox, and you've got to set them up again for PCman.

I have PCmanFM up and running now, great. But... the icons are really simpel and not too nice looking. Some kind of default? How can I get Rox's icons? Or some other decent icon set?

I added the line to .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-icon-theme-name="ROX"

When I run PCmanFM from terminal, the following appears:

(pcmanfm:3797): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

What does that mean?

THIS ONE REQUIRES GLIB > 2.22 and GTK+ > 2.18 (compiled against 2.22.5 and 2.18.9)

Note that this has only the minimum icons to run (from Tango) and nothing is preconfigured (run from command line to see what icon names are missing - most can be reclaimed from rox or from Tango/hicolor icon themes) - it's as plain vanilla as it can get and still run so it can be customized
(the icons are in the root of the pet but petget puts them where they need to go... /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons)

menu-cache, libfm and pcmanfm were all compiled with:

hi techno, why pcmanfm cant copy symlink ?

The last version I posted can copy and paste symlinks (via right click menu) - I don't really use the classic version anymore.

It sounds like you did not install glib > 2.22.0 and gtk > 2.18.0

These are NOT included in any version of Puppy except maybe Barry's unofficial 4.3.2

I suppose the new rewrite of pcmanfm should be distributed as pcmanfm2 in the package name.

(by the way the configure script has not been updated to reflect that 2.18 is required, but the latest release has gtk_widget_get_state or something like that, which is not in versions less than 2.1 Cool
