## 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-0.23 and hicolor-icon-theme-0.17 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-1.8.4 is installed.

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