Install libei by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -D tests=disabled && ninja
This package does come with a test suite, but it requires an external dependency. If you have both munit and structlog installed, and you wish to run the test suite, run the following commands:
meson configure -D tests=enabled .. && ninja test
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D tests=disabled: This
switch avoids a dependency on munit. Remove this switch if
you have munit installed and wish
to run the test suite.
