![[Note]](../images/note.png)
An Internet connection is needed for building this package.
gobject-introspection-1.76.1 and Vala-0.56.11
docutils-0.20.1 (for man pages), Gi-DocGen-2023.1 (for documentation), and Xorg Fonts (for tests)
Install librsvg by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-vala \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/librsvg-2.56.3 &&
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
Now, as the root user:
make DOC_INSTALL_DIR='$(docdir)' install
If you installed the package on to your system using a
“DESTDIR” method, an important file
was not installed and should be copied and/or generated. Generate
it using the following command as the root user:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
--enable-vala: This switch
enables building of the Vala bindings. Remove this switch if you
don't have Vala-0.56.11 installed.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
DOC_INSTALL_DIR='$(docdir)': This
override ensures installing the API documentation into the expected
location if Gi-DocGen-2023.1 is installed.
--disable-introspection: Use this
switch if you have not installed Gobject
Introspection.
--disable-gtk-doc: This switch prevents
building the API documentation, even if Gi-DocGen-2023.1 (despite the name of the
option) is available.
