Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d $GNOME_SYSCONFDIR/gconf/gconf.xml.system Still as the root user, configure D-Bus so that it can search for GNOME installed .conf files (This is assuming that /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf does not exist yet. If it does, then you will need to merge in the changes). If $GNOME_PREFIX is not /usr, you should uncomment the servicedir line: cat > /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf << "EOF" <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!-- Search for .conf files in $GNOME_SYSCONFDIR/dbus-1/system.d --> <includedir>$GNOME_SYSCONFDIR/dbus-1/system.d</includedir> <!-- Search for .service files in $GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/system-services --> <!-- <servicedir>$GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir> --> </busconfig> EOF If $GNOME_PREFIX is not /usr, you also need to configure D-Bus so that it can search for GNOME installed session .service files (This is assuming that /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf does not exist yet. If it does, then you will need to merge in the changes). Additionally, if polkit is installed, create a symbolic link in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions to the action file installed by GConf. Issue the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf << "EOF" <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!-- Search for .service files in $GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/session-services --> <servicedir>$GNOME_PREFIX/share/dbus-1/session-services</servicedir> </busconfig> EOF ln -s -v $GNOME_PREFIX/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.gconf.defaults.policy \ /usr/share/polkit-1/actions --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/GConf: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/GConf instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec. --disable-orbit: This parameter is required if ORBit2 is not installed. ORBit2 is a deprecated package. --enable-static=no: This switch prevents the static libraries being installed. install -v -m755 -d $GNOME_SYSCONFDIR/gconf/gconf.xml.system: Creates a missing directory. Without this directory, gconf-sanity-check-2 will fail during GDM startup and login.
