The LiveCD always passes all configure switches to all pars of xfce. It
doesn't hurt to do the same in the book and say that unneeded switches have
no effect. This way, the whole installation can be reduced to something like:
cat >list <<"EOF"
libxfce4util-4.2.3.2
dbh-1.0.24
libxfcegui4-4.2.3
.....
EOF
cd src
for i in `cat ../list`; do
tar xf $i.tar.gz
cd $i
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-debug=no --enable-panel --enable-startup-notification \
--libexecdir=/usr/sbin --enable-compositor
make
make install
cd ..
done
WARNING: don't take the ./configure line above literally. Packages that are
not on the CD (e.g., xfce4-mixer) may want additional switches.
