Command Explanations

sed -i '/DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED/d' ...: Libunique uses functions that are deprecated in the current version of Glib. This sed allows it to compile using those deprecated functions.

sed -i 's# -Werror ##' ...: This sed disables treating warnings as errors in the Makefile that deals with dbus.

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