Installation of xarchiver

             --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xarchiver-0.5.4.15 &&

Now, as the root user: 

make install
[Note]

Note

This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can improve system performance and memory usage by updating /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.32 or GTK+-3.24.22 installed (for the icon cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.26 (for the desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the root user: 

gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
update-desktop-database -q

Command Explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4: This switch fixes the location for the thunar-archive-plugin, so it will work if thunar-1.8.15 is installed.

--disable-gtk3: This switch allows building against GTK+2 or use --disable-gtk2 to force building against GTK+3 when GTK+2 is installed, too.
