Installation of neon

Fix some code when building with gnutls-3.4 and later:

sed -e 's/client_set/set/'  \
    -e 's/gnutls_retr/&2/'  \
    -e 's/type = t/cert_&/' \
    -i src/ne_gnutls.c

Install neon by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --with-ssl       \
            --enable-shared  \
            --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. Most of the ssl tests fail, using --with-ssl=gnutls.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanations

--with-ssl: This switch enables SSL support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS respectively. Remove it if you don't have any of these installed. To force GnuTLS usage when both are present, simply pass --with-ssl=gnutls and --with-ca-bundle=/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt to the configure script.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--with-libxml2: This switch forces the use of libxml2 instead of Expat.
