Introduction to libsoup3

The libsoup3 is a HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObject and the GLib main loop to integrate with GNOME applications and it also has an asynchronous API for use in threaded applications.

Installation of libsoup3

Fix the installation path of API documentation: 

sed 's/apiversion/soup_version/' -i docs/reference/meson.build

Install libsoup3 by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr          \
            --buildtype=release    \
            -Dvapi=enabled         \
            -Dgssapi=disabled      \
            -Dsysprof=disabled     \
            --wrap-mode=nofallback \
            ..                     &&
ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: 本パッケージの安定版リリース向けに適したビルドタイプを指定します。 デフォルトにしていると、最適化されていないバイナリを生成する場合があるためです。

--wrap-mode=nofallback: This switch prevents meson from using subproject fallbacks for any dependency declarations in the build files, stopping it downloading any optional dependency which is not installed on the system.

-Dvapi=disabled: Use this if you have not installed Vala, e.g. because you are not building GNOME.

-Ddocs=enabled: If Gi-DocGen-2023.3 is installed, the API documentation will be built and installed no matter if this option is used or not. This option causes the meson command to fail if Gi-DocGen-2023.3 is not installed.

-Dgssapi=disabled: libsoup3 defaults to building with GSSAPI support, which requires Kerberos (as does the test suite).

-Dsysprof=disabled: libsoup3 will automatically download a git version of sysprof if git is available or use the installed version if it is present on the system. If you need profiling, remove this option.
