![[Note]](../images/note.png)
If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR”
method, /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the
following command as the root
user:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D<option>=false:
These switches are required if the corresponding optional
dependency is not installed. Remove those where you have installed
the corresponding application and wish to use it with Gvfs. The dnssd option requires avahi and both
goa/google require GNOME Online Accounts.
-Dcdda=false: This switch is required
if libcdio is not installed. The cdda backend is useless on
machines without a CDROM/DVD drive.
