Prepare libsoup by running the following commands:
meson setup --prefix=/usr build \
--buildtype=release \
-D vapi=enabled \
-D gssapi=disabled \
-D sysprof=disabledninja -C build
One test named ssl-test is known to fail.
To test the results, issue:
ninja -C build test
Now Install the package, as the root user:
ninja -C build install
--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype
suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may
produce unoptimized binaries.
-D vapi=disabled: Use this if you have not installed
Vala, e.g. because you are not building
GNOME.
-D doc=enabled: Use this option if you want to build
the documentation. Note that you must have "gtk-doc" installed.
-D gssapi=disabled: libsoup defaults to building with GSSAPI support,
which requires Kerberos (as does the test suite). If you are building GNOME or
have kerberos installed, remove this option.
-D sysprof=disabled: libsoup will automatically
download a git version of sysprof if
git is available or use the installed version if it is present on the
system. If you need profiling, remove this option.
