Fernando de Oliveira f34293095b • mupdf-1.8: minor reformat.
• removing spaces from EOL, from Denis Mugnier.
• BLFS/trunk/BOOK/kde/add/kdepim-runtime.xml: needed to fix to validate
  the book. One chunck had been removed. Bruce, please check if it is
  OK, now.

<para>
Install <application>GLib</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pcre=system &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
The <application>GLib</application> test suite requires
<application>desktop-file-utils</application> for some tests. However,
<application>desktop-file-utils</application> requires
<application>GLib</application> in order to compile; therefore, you must
first install <application>GLib</application> and then run the test
suite.
</para>
<para>
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
<para>
You should now install <xref linkend="desktop-file-utils"/> and proceed to
run the test suite.
</para>
<para>
To test the results, after having installed the package, issue:
<command>make -k check</command>. Two tests produce errors.
