Installation of libbonobo

Install libbonobo by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` \

    --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome &&
make &&
make install 

Command explanations

--prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`: Setting the prefix with this command instead of with GNOME_PREFIX will insure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment.

--libexecdir=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in $GNOME_PREFIX/sbin instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.

--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome: This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.

--enable-gtk-doc: This switch rebuilds the documentation during the make command.
