Installation of gegl

Install gegl by running the following commands: 

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

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
install -v -m644 docs/*.{css,html} /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gegl

Command Explanations

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

install -v -m644 docs/*.{css,html} /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gegl : The command 'make install' only installs operations.html, omitting the stylesheet and index.html. This extra command ensures all the links in the html work.

--without-vala: Do not create a vala API - use this if vapigen breaks the build.
