User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libsoup
Install libsoup by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--disable-vala
: use this if you have
not installed Vala, e.g. because
you are not building GNOME.
--enable-gtk-doc
: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
