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/gnome-user-share: This parameter is used so that the gnome-user-share internal support programs are installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/gnome-user-share instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.

--disable-scrollkeeper: Do not make updates to the scrollkeeper database. Remove it if you have rarian installed.
