Any package requiring libsecret expects GNOME Keyring to be present at runtime.
Install libsecret by running the following commands:
mkdir bld && cd bld && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dgtk_doc=false \ .. && ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed "s/api_version_major/'0.21.2'/" \ -i ../docs/reference/libsecret/meson.build && meson configure -Dgtk_doc=true && ninja
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: dbus-run-session ninja test.
--buildtype=release
: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=false
: Allow building this package without Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed. If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation, a meson configure command will reset this option.
-Dmanpage=false
: Use this switch if you have not installed libxslt-1.1.39 and DocBook packages.
-Dcrypto=gnutls, disabled
: Use this switch if you want to use GnuTLS-3.8.3 for cryptography or if either GnuTLS-3.8.3 or libgcrypt-1.10.3 is not installed.
