User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libgusb
Install libgusb by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Ddocs=false .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Ddocs=false: building
documentation needs an old version of GTK-Doc, so it has to be disabled.
