Installation of gtksourceview

Install gtksourceview by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite. If you have the optional dependencies to build the test programs installed, after the package is installed you can change to the tests directory in the source tree and issue ./test-widget. This will test the functionality of the libgtksourceview-2.0 library.

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.

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