Installation of GNOME Calculator

First, copy the files that were downloaded earlier into the proper directory, since GNOME Calculator's tarball does not have them.

cp -v ../history-{entry,view}.ui data/

Install GNOME Calculator by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. In 32bit systems, Number.float and Number.double tests might fail due to floating point round off errors, most probably in 32 bit systems.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanation

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
