This package does not come with a functional test suite. Review the README file for additional information about testing the package.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

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/2.30.2: This parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.30.2 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.

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

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
