Any package requiring libsecret expects GNOME Keyring to be present at runtime.
Install libsecret by running the following commands:
mkdir bld &&
cd bld &&
meson setup --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.
--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-1.1.38 and DocBook packages.
-Dgcrypt=false: Use this switch if you
have not installed the recommended dependency of libgcrypt-1.10.2.
