Installation of xarchiver

Install xarchiver by running the following commands: 

patch -Np1 -i ../xarchiver-0.5.4-fixes-1.patch &&

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr               \
             --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 \
             --disable-gtk3              \
             --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xarchiver-0.5.4 &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/xarchiver-0.5.4 install

If desktop-file-utils-0.22 and hicolor-icon-theme-0.15 are installed, issue, as root user: 

update-desktop-database &&
gtk-update-icon-cache -t -f --include-image-data /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Command Explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4: This switch fixes the location for the thunar-archive-plugin, so it will work if Thunar-1.6.10 is installed.

---disable-gtk3: This switch chooses to build against GTK+2. Default is --enable-gtk3. Remove it or replace it, if you wish to build against GTK+3.
