## Installation of D-Bus GLib

Install D-Bus GLib by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr     \
                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                --disable-static  &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check. Note that more comprehensive tests can be run by following the same method used in D-Bus instructions, which requires building the package twice.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-gtk-doc`: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.
