Libbonoboui is a software library designed for the GNOME desktop environment, intended for use in implementing the Bonobo component model.
The first step involves changing directories to where the package's source code resides. Once there, type "./configure" to start the configuration process. Note that if you're using "csh" on an old version of System V, you may have to type "sh ./configure" instead to prevent "csh" from trying to execute the "configure" script itself. While running "configure", you'll receive messages about which features are being checked for.
Next, type "make" to compile the package. This can take a while, so be prepared to wait. If you'd like to run any self-tests that come with the package, you may do so by typing "make check" (optional). To install the programs, data files, and documentation, type "make install".
If you'd like to remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory, type "make clean". To remove files created during the configuration process so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer, type "make distclean". There is also a "make maintainer-clean" target, but it's intended mainly for the package's developers. Please note that if you use it, you may have to download additional programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, if you're looking for a Bonobo integration library for use in the GNOME environment, Libbonoboui is a solid choice. Just be prepared for the installation process if you're compiling from source code.
