## Installation of xarchiver

Install xarchiver by running the following commands:

    ./configure  --prefix=/usr               \
                 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 \
                 --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xarchiver-0.5.4.23 &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

### Note

This package installs icon files into the `/usr/share/icons/hicolor` hierarchy and desktop files into the `/usr/share/applications` hierarchy. You can improve system performance and memory usage by updating `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme` and `/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache`. To perform the update you must have GTK+-3.24.43 installed (for the icon cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.27 (for the desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the `root` user:

    gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
    update-desktop-database -q

## Command Explanations

`--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4`: This switch fixes the location for the thunar-archive-plugin, so it will work if thunar-4.18.11 is installed.
