Here are the steps that worked for me, in building Viewnior 1.5 from source.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t just follow the build instructions on the Viewnoir Download page; I kept getting "./configure.ac: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `261'". But a combination of those and these, and some other searching around, seemed to work.

1. wget https://github.com/xsisqox/Viewnior/archive/viewnior-1.5.tar.gz

2. tar xvfz viewnior-1.5.tar.gz

3. cd Viewnior-viewnior-1.5

4. sudo apt-get install build-essential intltool libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev gnome-common exiv2 libexiv2-dev libgexiv2-2 libgexiv2-dev (I know, probably overkill, but just in case…​)

5. ./autogen.sh

6. ./configure

Gnome Classic - Carbon

This is a tweak of the standard Gnome Classic session into a dark one. It modifies the css of gnome-shell theme and the Window List extension. It's still a work in progress, and here are my steps as well as outstanding issues.

Here are the versions of everything else that might be good to know:

• Fedora 20
• Linux 3.12.6-300
