Installation of libgnomeui

Install libgnomeui by running the following commands:

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

--with-kde-datadir=$KDE_PREFIX/share: Use this parameter if you have KDE installed in any prefix other than /usr.

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

export LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/libglade/2.0
