![[Note]](../images/note.png)
If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR”
method, /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the
following command as the root
user:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D<option>=false:
These switches are required if the corresponding dependency is not
installed. Remove those where you have installed the corresponding
application and wish to use it with Gvfs. The dnssd option requires avahi and both
goa and google require GNOME Online Accounts. The google option
also requires libgdata.
-Dcdda=false: This switch is required
if libcdio is not installed. The cdda backend is useless on
machines without a CDROM/DVD drive.
