Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dvapi=disabled: Use this if you have not installed Vala, e.g. because you are not building GNOME. -Ddoc=enabled: 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 switch.
