Installation of gvfs

Install gvfs by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \
                --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gvfs  &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

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 configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.28.1 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.

--sysconfdir=/etc: This parameter causes the sysconf files to be installed in the preferred location of /etc instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.

--libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gvfs: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/gvfs instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
