The <application>libsoup3</application> is a HTTP client/server library for
<application>GNOME</application>. It uses GObject and the GLib main loop
to integrate with <application>GNOME</application> applications and
it also has an asynchronous API for use in threaded applications.

<warning>
<para>
You may have noticed newer libsoup releases versioned 3.x.y is
available. However, currently some downstream packages support
libsoup-3.x, while the others do not. Installing libsoup-3.x into
BLFS is known to cause troubles, even if both libsoup-2.x and 3.x
are installed. So, do <emphasis role='bold'>not</emphasis> install
libsoup-3.x into BLFS unless you know what you are doing. We plan
to keep using libsoup-2.x for BLFS until GNOME-43 release.

<para>
Install <application>libsoup3</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd build &amp;&amp;
meson --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dvapi=enabled \
-Dgssapi=disabled \
-Dsysprof=disabled \
.. &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>

To test the results, issue: <command>ninja test</command>.

<para>
<option>-Dvapi=disabled</option>: Use this if you have not installed
<application>Vala</application>, e.g. because you are not building
<application>GNOME</application>.
</para>
<para>
<option>-Ddoc=enabled</option>: Use this option if you want to build
the documentation. Note that you must have <xref linkend="gtk-doc"/> installed.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>-Dgssapi=disabled</parameter>: libsoup3 defaults to building with GSSAPI support,
which requires Kerberos (as does the test suite).
</para>
<para>
<parameter>-Dsysprof=disabled</parameter>: libsoup3 will automatically download
a git version of <xref linkend="sysprof"/> if git is available or use the installed
version if available. If you need profiling, remove this option.
