Installation of GNOME MIME Data

[Note]

Note

The instructions below are based on installing the package into a GNOME environment. If, for whatever reason, you're installing this package without having the core GNOME libraries installed, you'll need to modify the --prefix= parameter on the configure script to point to your desired installation path (e.g., --prefix=/usr).

Install GNOME MIME Data by running the following commands: 

ORBit_prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) &&

./configure --prefix=$ORBit_prefix            \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2    \
            --mandir=$$ORBit_prefix/share/man &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
install -v -m644 -D man/gnome-vfs-mime.5 \
                    $ORBit_prefix/share/man/man5/gnome-vfs-mime.5
