Installation of libbonobo

Install libbonobo by running the following commands: 

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

./configure --prefix=$ORBit_prefix                     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2           \
            --libexecdir=$ORBit_prefix/lib/bonobo-2.0  \
            --mandir=$ORBit_prefix/share/man           &&

unset ORBit_prefix                                     &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

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/2.30.2: This parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.30.2 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. You may prefer to use a simpler value such as /etc/gnome or even /etc.

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

--mandir=$GNOME_PREFIX/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).

--disable-static: This switch prevents the static libraries being installed.

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