User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libsecret
Install libsecret by running the following commands:
mkdir bld && cd bld && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk_doc=false .. && ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed "s/api_version_major/'0.20.5'/" \ -i ../docs/reference/libsecret/meson.build && meson configure -Dgtk_doc=true && ninja
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: dbus-run-session ninja test.
If gi-docgen is installed and the -Dgtk_doc=false
has been removed, as the
root
user, issue the following
command to fix the name of the installed documentation directory:
mv -v /usr/share/doc/libsecret-{1,0.20.5}
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=false
: Allow
building this package without Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed. If you have
Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and you
wish to rebuild and install the API documentation, a meson configure command will
reset this option.
-Dmanpage=false
: Use this switch if you
have not installed libxslt-1.1.37 and DocBook packages.
-Dgcrypt=false
: Use this switch if you
have not installed the recommended dependency of libgcrypt-1.10.1.
