Install popt by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
If you have Doxygen-1.9.2 installed and wish to build the API documentation, issue:
sed -i 's@\./@src/@' Doxyfile && doxygen
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you built the API documentation, install it using the following
commands issued by the root user:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/popt-1.18 && install -v -m644 doxygen/html/* /usr/share/doc/popt-1.18
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
