User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/caribou
Install Caribou by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/caribou \
--disable-gtk2-module \
--disable-static &&
make
This package's testsuite is only intended to be used by the maintainer to check i18n files.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/caribou: This
parameter ensures antler-keyboard is
put in a directory which accords with the FHS instead of
/usr/libexec.
--disable-gtk2-module: Because
GNOME now uses GTK+-3, the module has no use on a
GNOME desktop.
--disable-static: This switch prevents
installation of static versions of the libraries.
--disable-scrollkeeper: Use this
parameter if you have installed Rarian but wish to disable the updates to the
Scrollkeeper database.
