Install XChat by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../xc284-scrollbmkdir.diff &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.30.2 \
--enable-shm &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/xchat-2.8.4 &&
install -v -m644 README faq.html \
/usr/share/doc/xchat-2.8.4
--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.
--enable-shm: This
parameter is used to enable XShm for fast tinting.
