User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/galeon
Compiling must be done with the same compiler version and optimization settings that were used to compile the Gecko layout engine package.
Install Galeon by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.14.3 \
--localstatedir=/var/lib \
--mandir=$(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 &&
install -v -m755 -d $(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/galeon-2.0.1 &&
install -v -m644 FAQ README* doc/*.txt $(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/galeon-2.0.1 &&
ln -v -s ../../$PACKAGE_NAME/FAQ.html $(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/doc/galeon-2.0.1
--prefix=$(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 $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
--mandir=$(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).
