What it does it determine where the header and libraries are for Rhythmbox's dependencies. For example it will determine that to use GTK it needs to pass "-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0" to the compiler. Basically you shouldn't have to touch pkg-config, RHYTHMBOX_CFLAGS or RHYTHMBOX_LIBS. > Do I edit the < configure > file > or > provide arguments for < configure > > and > if arguments to turn off pkg-config what are these arguments. > > I've looked at the man < pkg-config > and I 'm just not sure what to > make of the instructions with regard to compiling this program You just need to run ./configure, with --prefix=/x/y/z indicating where you want it to be installed. You can also enable/disable some optional components with --enable or --with options (these are listed by ./configure --help).
