here it says to

Run the following commands to configure and build WebKit (choosing an appropriate prefix):

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make

but I am not sure what they mean by 'appropriate prefix'. Can anyone offer a clue?

1 Answer

Prefix is a directory under which the compiled application is going to be installed. I'd use something like /opt/WebKitGtk to be sure it does not override anything. Installing in /usr is definitely not a good idea.

Also note I corrected a typo in your command example - make should be a separate command.

Good luck :)
