<screen revision="systemd"><userinput>mkdir -vp build &amp;&amp;

    <para>
      This package does not have a working testsuite. However, there is a
      usable basic graphical web browser in the build directory,
      <application>build/bin/MiniBrowser</application>. If launching it fails,
      there is a problem with the build.
    </para>

    <note><para>
      When installing, the Makefile does some additional compiling and linking.
      If you do not have Xorg in /usr, the LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH
      variables need to be defined for the root user.  If using sudo to assume
      root, use the -E option to pass your current environment variables for the
      install process.
    </para></note>

    <para>
      Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>ninja install &amp;&amp;

install -vdm755 /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/webkit{2,dom}gtk-4.0 &amp;&amp;
