## Installation of GNOME Keyring

Install GNOME Keyring by running the following commands:

    sed -i 's:"/desktop:"/org:' schema/*.xml &&

    ./configure --prefix=/usr      \
                --sysconfdir=/etc  \
                --enable-ssh-agent &&
    make

A session bus address is necessary to run the tests. To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

sed ... schema/*.xml: This command fixes a deprecated entry in the schema template.

`--enable-ssh-agent`: This switch enables the SSH agent built in to gnome-keyring instead of the one in GCR. This is done due to bugs in gcr which cause the agent to not work correctly.
