./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Now, as the root user:

make install

An already active graphical session with bus address is necessary to execute the test suite. Some sub-tests need a GNOME session, otherwise, they fails. Other tests print error messages, which are ignored and they are tagged "OK". To test the results, removing the failing ones, issue:

sed -e '/embed\/ephy-download\/start/{N;N;d}' \
    -i tests/ephy-download-test.c    &&
sed -e '/embed\/ephy-embed-shell\/launch_handler/{N;N;d}' \
    -i tests/ephy-embed-shell-test.c &&

make check
