Installation of LibBonoboUI

Install LibBonoboUI by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
  --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&

install -v -m755 -d $(pkg-config \
        --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/libbonoboui-2.24.5 &&

install -v -m644 doc/*.{dtd,txt,xml,html} $(pkg-config \
        --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/libbonoboui-2.24.5

Command Explanations

--prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0): Setting the prefix using this parameter instead of with $GNOME_PREFIX will ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

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

Configuring LibBonoboUI

If you have installed gnome with a different prefix to LibGlade (eg, LibGlade is installed into /usr and LibBonoboUI is installed into /opt/gnome) you will need to add the directory containing the Glade files to the environment variable ${LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH}. As the root user: 

echo export \
   LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/libglade/2.0 \
   >> /etc/profile
