./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \

make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/dconf: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of /usr/lib/dconf instead of /usr/libexec.
