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.

--disable-glibtest: Use this parameter if you do NOT want to compile and run a test GLIB program.

--enable-python: Use this parameter if you want to build libgweather python bindings.

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

--enable-gtk-doc-html: Use this parameter if you want to build documentation in html format.

--enable-gtk-doc-pdf: Use this parameter if you want to build documentation in pdf format.
