Installation of File Roller

Install File Roller by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr         \
            --disable-packagekit  \

make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
chmod -v 0755 /usr/libexec/file-roller/isoinfo.sh

Command Explanations

--disable-packagekit: This switch disables use of PackageKit which isn't suitable for BLFS.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/: This option will put the package's private programs in /usr/lib/file-roller instead of /usr/libexec/file-roller in accordance with the old version of the FHS used before LFS-7.5.
