User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libsecret
Install libsecret by running the following commands:
mkdir bld && cd bld && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk_doc=false .. && ninja
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: ninja test, after the package is installed. The test suite should be run from a local GUI session started with dbus-launch.
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=false: Remove
this if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed and want to
rebuild the documentation with it.
-Dmanpage=false: Use this switch if you
have not installed libxslt-1.1.35 and DocBook packages.
-Dgcrypt=false: Use this switch if you
have not installed the recommended dependency of libgcrypt-1.10.0.
