Installation of Gcr

Install Gcr by running the following commands: 

sed -i -r 's:"(/desktop):"/org/gnome\1:' schema/*.xml &&

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make

To test the results, issue: make -k check. The tests must be run from an X Terminal or similar. One test, "test-openssl 3", is known to fail.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed ... schema/*.xml: This command fixes a deprecated entry in the schema template.

--without-gtk: Use this switch if you haven't installed GTK+-3.24.10. Note that gcr-viewer will not be installed if this is passed to configure.
