First, make a fix required by glibc-2.43 and later:
sed -r '/_GL_EXTERN_C/s/w?memchr|bsearch/(&)/' \
-i $(find -name \*.in.h)
Install libunistring by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/libunistring-1.4.1 &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
