Introduction to neon

The neon package is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C interface.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.1 platform.

Install neon by running the following commands:

make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

--enable-shared: This parameter is needed to build the shared libraries, otherwise only static libraries are built and installed.

--disable-static: This parameter prevents the static libraries being installed.

--with-ssl=openssl: This option enables SSL support using openssl.

--with-ssl=gnutls: This option enables SSL support using gnutls.

If you wish to use the other optional dependencies, consult the output of ./configure --help.
