Installation of Epiphany

Install Epiphany by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX \
            --with-ca-file=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

A D-BUS service script was installed in the previous step. If the $GNOME_PREFIX is anything other than /usr, as the root user you should add the $GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/services directory to the local session configuration as described in the D-BUS-1.4.16 configuration section.

Command Explanations

--prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX: Setting the prefix using this parameter will ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.

--with-ca-file=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt: Omit this if you have not installed the certificates.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
