Installation of GNOME MIME Data
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
Note
The instructions below are based on installing the package into a
GNOME-2 environment. If, for whatever reason, you're installing
this package without having ORBit2 and the core GNOME-2 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:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.18.3 \
--mandir=$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/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 \
$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/man/man5/gnome-vfs-mime.5
Command Explanations
--prefix=$(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
$GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if
applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
--mandir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix
ORBit-2.0)/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).
