gnome-mount-0.6
Introduction to gnome-mount
The gnome-mount package contains
programs for mounting, unmounting and ejecting storage devices. The
goal for gnome-mount is to get the
appropriate GNOME software (such as gnome-volume-manager and GNOME-VFS) to use this instead of invoking
mount/umount/eject or direct HAL invoking methods.
All the gnome-mount programs
utilize the methods on HAL and as
such run unprivileged. The rationale for gnome-mount is to have a centralized place (in
GConf) where settings (e.g., mount
options and mount locations) are maintained.

Installation of gnome-mount
Install gnome-mount by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.18.3 &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--prefix=$(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.
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.18.3: This
parameter causes the configuration files to be installed in
/etc/gnome/2.18.3 instead of
$GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Additionally (if
applicable), the parameter ensures that the GConf-2 database is correctly updated.
