The gnome-devel-docs software package provides documentation specifically aimed at developers working within the GNOME framework.
In terms of installation, the package can be compiled by following these steps: first, navigate to the directory containing the source code and run the command `./configure` to configure it for your system. Users of `csh` on older versions of System V may need to use `sh ./configure` instead, to prevent `csh` from attempting to execute `configure` itself.
Running `configure` may take some time, during which it will print messages indicating the features that are being checked. Once it is complete, users can run `make` to compile the package, and optionally `make check` to perform self-tests.
To install the programs and any data files and documentation, users should run `make install`. They can remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory by running `make clean`, and remove all the files `configure` created by running `make distclean`.
While there is also a `make maintainer-clean` target, it's intended mainly for developers of the package. If users choose to use it, they may need to obtain additional programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
