Installation of obconf-qt

Install obconf-qt by running the following commands: 

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release          \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$LXQT_PREFIX \
      -DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no              \
      ..       &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

If lxqt-l10n-0.11.2 is not installed in /usr, the translation files are not found. To cure that, run, as the root: 

if [ "$LXQT_PREFIX" != /usr ]; then
  ln -s $LXQT_PREFIX/share/obconf-qt /usr/share
fi

Note that the above instruction works only if LXQT_PREFIX has been set as explained in LXQt Pre-Install.

Command Explanations

-DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no: Removes the need for git-2.11.1, which would otherwise be requested to download the translation files.
