      --prefix=/usr         \
      --buildtype=release   \
      -D gtk_doc=false      &&

Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

-D gtk_doc=false: This switch prevents the build system from generating and installing the API documentation. Omit this switch if you have GTK-Doc-1.34.0 installed and wish to generate and install the API documentation.
