Building

Packages for Debian Sid (amd64 and i386) and Fedora Core (i686) are always provided with releases. The source includes the scripts necessary to build deb and rpm packages for other architectures or operating systems in addition to standard (non-packaged) builds. The Debian Sid packages can usually be installed both in Debian Stable and Ubuntu.

Examples assume version 1.1:

Compile in the standard GNU fashion:

$ tar zxvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr # [1]
$ make

Install the built package with

# make install

Uninstall with

# make uninstall

^[1] Note the prefix should be the same as nautilus for the translations to work (or e.g. $ ./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable prefix libnautilus-extension`)

$ tar zxvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1
$ debuild -us -uc -b

Or alternatively:

$ tar zxvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b

$ rpmbuild -tb nautilus-follow-symlink-1.1.tar.gz
