## Installation of Yelp

Install Yelp by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

Still as the `root` user, ensure that `/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache` will be updated and therefore the help in gnome applications will work.

    update-desktop-database

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-gtk-doc`: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.

## Contents

Installed Program: gnome-help (symlink) and yelp
Installed Library: libyelp.so
Installed Directories: /usr/{include,share/gtk-doc/html}/libyelp and /usr/{lib,share}/yelp

### Short Descriptions
