Install libei by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dtests=disabled .. && ninja
This package does come with a test suite, but it requires an external dependency. If you have munit installed and wish to run the test suite, run the following commands:
meson configure -Dtests=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.
-Dtests=disabled
: This switch avoids a dependency on munit. Remove this switch if you have munit installed and wish to run the test suite.
