GNOME Virtual File System-2.8.3

The GNOME Virtual File System package contains virtual file system libraries. This is used as one of the foundations of the Nautilus file manager.

Install GNOME Virtual File System by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` \
    --libexecdir=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/sbin \
    --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

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

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

rmdir `pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/doc: Use this command if $GNOME_PREFIX is anything other than /usr as the directory is unneeded and unpopulated.

The GNOME Virtual File System package contains gnome-vfs-daemon, gnomevfs-cat, gnomevfs-copy, gnomevfs-info, gnomevfs-ls, gnomevfs-mkdir, gnomevfs-rm, libgnomevfs libraries and numerous library modules.
