      First, apply a patch to fix several bugs discovered after
      release:
    </para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../telepathy-glib-&telepathy-glib-version;-consolidated_fixes-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you intend to run the tests, one of them defaults to invoking
      <filename>/usr/bin/python</filename> and fails if it is absent, causing
      the second batch of tests to not run - unlike the other tests which can be
      overridden from the environment. Fix it with the following command:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's%/usr/bin/python%&amp;3%' tests/all-errors-documented.py</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install <application>Telepathy GLib</application> by running the
      following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>autoreconf -fiv &amp;&amp;

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./configure --prefix=/usr          \
                                    --enable-vala-bindings \
                                    --disable-static       &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.
