User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libsoup
Install libsoup by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr -Dvapi=true -Dgssapi=false .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-Dvapi=false: use this if you have not
installed Vala, e.g. because you
are not building GNOME.
-Ddoc=true: Use this option if you want
to build the documentation. Note that you must have GTK-Doc-1.32 installed.
-Dgssapi=false: 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.
