make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
gst-register

Command Explanations

sed -i -e ... cddb-slave2/Makefile.in: This command fixes a bug encountered if $GNOME_PREFIX is not set to /usr.

--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.

--localstatedir=/var/lib: This switch puts ScrollKeeper files in /var/lib/scrollkeeper instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/var/scrollkeeper.
