The Yelp package is not required for a functional GNOME desktop. Note, however, that without Yelp you will not be able to view the built-in Help provided by core GNOME and many of the support applications. This is mentioned here because you may not wish to install a Gecko layout engine. Without a Gecko layout engine you will have no graphical browser capability as the default GNOME browser, Epiphany-2.30.2, also requires a Gecko layout engine.
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/yelp
Install Yelp by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2 \
--localstatedir=/var/lib \
--enable-cpp-rtti &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--prefix=$(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.
--localstatedir=/var/lib:
This parameter is used so that all ScrollKeeper files are installed in, and the
ScrollKeeper database is properly
updated in /var/lib/scrollkeeper
instead of some files being installed in $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
$GNOME_PREFIX/share/yelp{icons,ui,xslt}
