## Installation of libuv

Install libuv by running the following commands:

### Caution

The sh autogen.sh command below fails if the ACLOCAL environment variable is set as specified in Xorg-7. If it is used, ACLOCAL needs to be unset for this package and then reset for other packages.

    sh autogen.sh                              &&
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
    make

If you installed the optional sphinx-9.1.0 python module, create the man page:

    make man -C docs

If you want to run the tests, run: make check as a non-root user.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

If you built the man page, install it as the `root` user:

    install -Dm644 docs/build/man/libuv.1 /usr/share/man/man1
