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/vinagre-1: This parameter is used so that the vinagre internal support programs are installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/vinagre-1 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.

--disable-applet: This parameter stops the build of the panel applet. Remove it if you have GNOME Panel installed.

--disable-avahi: This parameter disables the use of avahi for auto-discover machines. Remove it if you have avahi installed.

--disable-scrollkeeper: This parameter disables updates to the scrollkeeper database. Remove it if you have rarian installed.

--enable-ssh: This option enables the SSH plugin. Requires VTE.
