Need Some help.. #578

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hey there can anyone tell me at which location does this app gets installed if we use the tar.xz ??

lukefromdc commented 1 year ago

The tar.xz is the SOURCE tarball for building the package. You set the installation prefix when configuring the built, it defaults to /usr/local but by adding --prefix=/usr to your build options it will install into /usr. Running ./configure --help in the build directory (what you extracted when you untarred the package will give you a long list of options, including fine-tuning where to install various types of files from the build

I do not know if the release tarballs contain the submodules as I don't have enough experience with subprojects outside of MATE and always build MATE from git. You can't run git submodule outside of git so I would imagine a release tarball contains everything you need but I am NOT sure of this as I do NOT remember what I was using when I had issues with this building some GNOME packages before MATE used this

Thanks for the reply, is the git submodule step necesary ??, cant i just use the tar ball directly to begin installation..
