Install Gamin by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin && make
To test the results, issue: make check. Note that some tests may display errors.
Now, as the root
user:
make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gamin-0.1.10 && install -v -m644 doc/*.{html,fig,gif,txt} /usr/share/doc/gamin-0.1.10
--disable-static
: This switch prevents
most of the static libraries being built.
No configuration is generally required and the default options should work for most users. See http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html for details.
