Installation of libnice

Install libnice by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --disable-static \
            --without-gstreamer-0.10 &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--without-gstreamer-0.10: This switch disables building of the GStreamer 0.10 plugins which are not necessary for anything in BLFS. Remove it if you have installed gst-plugins-base-0.10.36.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
