Doxygen-1.9.6 (for generating documentation)

Install popt by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

If you have Doxygen-1.9.6 installed and wish to build the API documentation, issue:

sed -i 's@\./@src/@' Doxyfile &&
doxygen

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install

If you built the API documentation, install it using the following commands issued by the root user:

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/popt-1.19 &&
install -v -m644 doxygen/html/* /usr/share/doc/popt-1.19

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
