Install libtasn1 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
If you did not pass the --enable-gtk-doc parameter to the configure script, you can install the API documentation using the following command as the root user:
make -C doc/reference install-data-local
--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-gtk-doc: This parameter is normally used if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation. It is broken for this package due to the use of a long deprecated gtk-doc program that is no longer available.
