Installation of libgnomeui

Install libgnomeui by running the following commands: 

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

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&

if [ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) != "/usr" ]; then
    ln -v -s $(pkg-config --variable=prefix \
             ORBit-2.0)/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/filesystems \
        /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0
fi

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.

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

--with-kde-datadir=$KDE_PREFIX/share: Use this parameter if you have KDE 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.

if [ ... != "/usr" ]; then ...; fi: This command is used to create a symbolic link in instances where the GNOME installation prefix is anything other than /usr.

Configuring libgnomeui

Configuration Information

Some applications cannot properly discover the libglade interface library installed by libgnomeui. Get around this problem by initializing an environment variable which identifies the location of the library. Add the following line to the system-wide /etc/profile file, or to individual user's ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc files: 

export LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/libglade/2.0
