Installation of gnome-keyring

[Note]

Note

The instructions below are based on installing the package into a GNOME-2 environment. If, for whatever reason, you're installing this package without having ORBit2 and the core GNOME-2 libraries installed, you'll need to modify the --prefix= parameter on the configure script to point to your desired installation path (e.g., --prefix=/usr).

Install gnome-keyring by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
            --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \
            --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-keyring \
                --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2 \
            --with-pam-dir=/lib/security \
            --with-dbus-services=/usr/share/dbus-1/services \
            --with-root-certs=/etc/ssl/certs &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

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.

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

--with-pam-dir=/lib/security: This parameter specifies where the pam modules will be installed into.

--with-dbus-services=/usr/share/dbus-1/services: This parameter specifies where the D-BUS session services directory is located.

--with-root-certs=/etc/ssl/certs: This parameter specifies where the trusted root certificates are located.

--disable-scrollkeeper: Use this parameter if you wish to disable the updates to the scrollkeeper database.
