Now, as the root user: make install In addition, you may choose to install: gtk-xfce-engine-2.2.8 xfcalendar-&xfce-version; xfce-mcs-plugins-&xfce-version; xfce4-appfinder-&xfce-version; xfce4-icon-theme-&xfce-version; xfce4-iconbox-&xfce-version; xfce4-mixer-&xfce-version; xfce4-session-&xfce-version; xfce4-systray-&xfce-version; xfce4-toys-&xfce-version; xfce4-trigger-launcher-&xfce-version; xffm-&xfce-version; xfprint-&xfce-version; xfwm4-themes-&xfce-version; Install the remaining applications using the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 && make Also, xfprint can be configured with --enable-cups if you have installed.
