Installation of liboauth
Apply a patch for the current version of openssl:
patch -Np1 -i ../liboauth-1.0.3-openssl-1.1.0-3.patch
Install liboauth by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
If you wish to build the documentation (needs Doxygen-1.9.8), issue:
make dox
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you have previously built the documentation, install it by
running the following commands as the
root user:
install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/liboauth-1.0.3 && cp -rv doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/liboauth-1.0.3
Command Explanations
--disable-static: This switch prevents
installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-nss: Use this switch if you want to
use Mozilla NSS instead of OpenSSL.
