Install GNOME Applets by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.14.3 \ --localstatedir=/var/lib \ --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-applets \ --mandir=$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/man && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install && make -C man install-man
--prefix=$(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/2.14.3: This parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.14.3 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 $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
--libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-applets: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of in $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/gnome-applets instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
--mandir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/man: This parameter causes the man.(X) files to be installed in $GNOME_PREFIX/share/man/man(X) instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/man/man(X).
make -C man install-man: This command installs the man-pages that are not installed during make install.
