This package does not come with a test suite, however, after the package is installed you can change to the tests directory in the source tree and issue ./test-widget to test the functionality of the libgtksourceview-1.0 library.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

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.
