GConf-2.28.0
Installation of GConf
Install GConf by running the
following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../GConf-2.26.2-sysconfdir-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.28.1 \
--libexecdir=$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/GConf \
--mandir=$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/man &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /etc/gnome/2.28.1/gconf/gconf.xml.system
Still as the root user, configure
D-Bus so that it can search for
GNOME installed .conf files (This
is assuming that system-local.conf does not exist yet. If it does,
then you will need to merge in the changes):
cat > /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf << "EOF"
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<!-- Search for .conf files in /etc/gnome/2.28.1/dbus-1/system.d -->
<includedir>/etc/gnome/2.28.1/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
</busconfig>

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.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.28.1: This
parameter causes the GConf-2
configuration database to be built in /etc/gnome/2.28.1 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. This installation controls all
future installations of GConf-2
schemas. If you change the location (which includes eliminating
this parameter), it must be consistent for every
subsequent package installation that updates the GConf-2 configuration database.
--libexecdir=$(pkg-config
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/GConf: This parameter
causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location
of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/GConf instead of
$GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
--mandir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix
ORBit-2.0)/share/man: This parameter causes the
man.(X) files to be installed in
$GNOME_PREFIX/share/man/man(X)
instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/man/man(X).
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild the API documentation.
