Installation of GNOME Desktop
Install GNOME Desktop by running
the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.18.3 \
--localstatedir=/var/lib &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--prefix=$(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/2.18.3: This
parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in
/etc/gnome/2.18.3 instead of
$GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if
applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
--localstatedir=/var/lib:
This parameter is used so that all ScrollKeeper files are installed in, and the
ScrollKeeper database is properly
updated in /var/lib/scrollkeeper
instead of some files being installed in $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
--with-gnome-distributor="Some Name":
Use this parameter to supply a custom name in the
“Distributor:” field of the
“GNOME About” display
window.
--with-kde-datadir=$KDE_PREFIX/share:
Use this parameter if KDE is
installed in any prefix other than /usr.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild the API documentation.
