The libsoup3 is a HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObject and the GLib main loop to integrate with GNOME applications and it also has an asynchronous API for use in threaded applications.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Fix the installation path of API documentation:
sed 's/apiversion/soup_version/' -i docs/reference/meson.build
Install libsoup3 by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -D vapi=enabled \ -D gssapi=disabled \ -D sysprof=disabled \ --wrap-mode=nofallback \ .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
--wrap-mode=nofallback
:
This switch prevents meson from using subproject
fallbacks for any dependency declarations in the build files,
stopping it downloading any optional dependency which is not
installed on the system.
-D vapi=disabled
: Use this if you have
not installed Vala, e.g. because
you are not building GNOME.
-D docs=enabled
: If Gi-DocGen-2024.1 is installed, the API
documentation will be built and installed no matter if this option
is used or not. This option causes the meson command to fail if
Gi-DocGen-2024.1 is not installed.
-D gssapi=disabled
:
libsoup3 defaults to building with GSSAPI support, which requires
Kerberos (as does the test suite).
-D sysprof=disabled
:
libsoup3 will automatically download a git version of sysprof if
git is available or use the installed version if it is present on
the system. If you need profiling, remove this option.
