I am so desperate to use Nautilus File Manager 3.6 or above in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have tried a lot of ways but finally tired to ask this question.
I went for this link: How do I install Nautilus 3.6 in 12.10? but it was not my solution.
I tried to install using binary package downloaded from here but it was so difficult to resolve all dependency packages. The list was not going to end.
I tried to add repository:
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3but it says:nautilus is already the newest version.
Nautilus is by default in Ubuntu 13.04. Its features like search files and folder and lighting speed make me mad. But unfortunately I want to stick with Ubuntu LTS version.
Edit
I don't know how but following link shows Files (Nautilus) 3.6 installed in Ubuntu 12.04 :
Files (Nautilus) 3.6.0 Final Available for Download
Now my excitement has reached to its peak. Is there really a way to install latest version in Ubuntu 12.04?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
Edit: Tried to install as suggested by Roman Raguet
First step executed without any error and installed listed packages successfully.
When executed 2nd step:
sudo apt-get build-dep nautilusgot following error:E: Unable to find a source package for nautilusso thought to skip this and continue with next step.
3rd step also executed successfully and downloaded and installed around
40 to 50 Mbof packages.Skipped 4th step, thought it as not that much important(ok if trash icon doesn't appear).
Finished 5th, 6th and 7th step and reached to 8th step.
When compiled using

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_CFLAGS and BASE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
