%general-entities; ]> libsoup-&libsoup-version; libsoup Introduction to libsoup The libsoup 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. &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libsoup-md5sum; Download size: &libsoup-size; Estimated disk space required: &libsoup-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libsoup-time; libsoup Dependencies Required , , , and Recommended &gobject-introspection; and Optional (required to run the test suite), , (required to run the test suite), (required to run the test suite), , compiled with XMLRPC-EPI support (only used for the XMLRPC regression tests), (ntlm_auth is required to run the test suite), and sysprof Installation of libsoup Install libsoup by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dvapi=enabled \ -Dgssapi=disabled \ -Dsysprof=disabled \ .. && ninja To test the results, issue: ninja test. One test named ssl-test is known to fail. Now, as the root user: ninja install Command Explanations : Use this if you have not installed Vala, e.g. because you are not building GNOME. : Use this option if you want to build the documentation. Note that you must have installed. -Dgssapi=disabled: libsoup defaults to building with GSSAPI support, which requires Kerberos (as does the test suite). If you are building GNOME or have kerberos installed, remove this option. -Dsysprof=disabled: libsoup 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.
