If you run ./configure --help for the complete list of dependency requirements and available parameters, you may notice a message about the gnome-mount-0.4 package. This package is not required at build-time, and is only a run-time dependency. If gnome-mount is available at run-time, GNOME-VFS will use it. If it is not available, GNOME-VFS will fall back to using other mounting mechanisms.
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-vfs
Install GNOME Virtual File System by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.14.3 \ --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0 && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
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/2.14.3: This parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnome/2.14.3 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
--libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.
--with-hal-eject=PROGRAM: This parameter does not need to be passed if you have Eject or gnome-mount-0.4 installed, as the eject program is used if gnome-mount is not installed.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild the API documentation.
