Issues running the settings for ArcMenu on Solaris 11

MrFumbleJul 21 2025

As of late, i've been attempting to give my emulated Solaris installation a somewhat easier interface by using two GNOME extensions: Dash-to-dock and ArcMenu. Manual (?) installation of dash-to-dock was at least easy, but manually installing ArcMenu somehow never worked for me, so i decided to try and use make on it to to a “harder” install, i was able to succeed with the help of the current author of ArcMenu; but now the most major blocker i'm stuck on is getting the settings of ArcMenu to work.

As it stands, the settings of ArcMenu depend upon a new version of libAdwaita not included with the Solaris CBE IPS repositories as of now (ArcMenu-settings needs libAdwaita v1.4+, the version of libAdwaita shipped/(included in the repos) with Solaris is v1.3.6).

As this is a package related question/issue, i'll shall leave it up to the internal IPS CBE packagers to update libAdwaita to V1.4; as for the packagers themselves, i have a question to them: are there any blockers to updating libAdwaita to V1.4 or above? I'm just merely curious.

The ArcMenu GitLab issue that is very related to this (and precedes my question, and also has some of the screenshots showing the issues): https://gitlab.com/arcmenu/ArcMenu/-/issues/443
