libgcrypt-1.11.0 (or GnuTLS-3.8.7.1, for cryptography), and Vala-0.56.17
Gi-DocGen-2024.1 and docbook-xml-4.5, docbook-xsl-nons-1.79.2, libxslt-1.1.42 (to build manual pages), and Valgrind-3.23.0 (can be used in tests)

Any package requiring libsecret expects GNOME Keyring to be present at runtime.
Install libsecret by running the following commands:
mkdir bld && cd bld && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -D gtk_doc=false \ .. && ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2024.1 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed "s/api_version_major/'0.21.4'/" \ -i ../docs/reference/libsecret/meson.build && meson configure -D gtk_doc=true && ninja
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: dbus-run-session ninja test.
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D gtk_doc=false
: Allow
building this package without Gi-DocGen-2024.1 installed. If you have
Gi-DocGen-2024.1 installed and you
wish to rebuild and install the API documentation, a meson configure command will
reset this option.
-D manpage=false
: Use this switch if
you have not installed libxslt-1.1.42
and DocBook packages.
-D crypto=gnutls
: Use this switch if
you want to use GnuTLS-3.8.7.1 for cryptography instead
of libgcrypt-1.11.0.
-D crypto=disabled
: Use this switch if
you don't have GnuTLS-3.8.7.1 or libgcrypt-1.11.0 installed. Note that
disabling transport encryption support by doing this is not
recommended.
