Install xarchiver by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/xarchiver-0.5.4.21 &&
makeThis package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and
desktop files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To perform
the update you must have GTK+-3.24.38 installed (for the icon
cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.27 (for the desktop cache)
and issue the following commands as the root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4: This switch fixes the
location for the thunar-archive-plugin, so it will work if
thunar-4.18.8 is installed.
--disable-gtk3: This switch allows building
against GTK+2 or use --disable-gtk2 to force
building against GTK+3 when GTK+2 is installed.
