Installation of Nautilus

Install Nautilus by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/nautilus \
            --disable-nst-extension \
            --disable-packagekit &&
make

This package needs to be installed before its testsuite can run (or, perhaps, you can run the tests if a previous version is already installed).

Now, as the root user:

make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/nautilus &&
install -v -m644 docs/*.{txt,dia,pdf,sxw,faq,html} \
        /usr/share/doc/nautilus

If you wish to run the testsuite, as a normal unprivileged user issue: make check.

Command Explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/nautilus: This ensures that the nautilus-convert-metadata is installed in a location consistent with the FHS, instead of in /usr/libexec/.

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

--disable-nst-extension: This parameter disables building of sendto extension which is provided by other package.

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