First, apply a patch to use lxml-6.0.2 for handling the XML files instead of the deprecated (disabled by default) Python module from libxml2-2.15.1:
patch -Np1 -i ../itstool-2.0.7-lxml-1.patch
Now configure itstool by running the following commands:
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
Now compile itstool by running the following commands:
make
To test the results, issue:
python3 tests/run_tests.py
Now Install, as the root user:
make install
