## Installation of neon

Fix some code when building with gnutls-3.4 and later:

    sed -e 's/client_set/set/'  \
        -e 's/gnutls_retr/&2/'  \
        -e 's/type = t/cert_&/' \
        -i src/ne_gnutls.c

Install neon by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr    \
                --with-ssl       \
                --enable-shared  \
                --disable-static &&
    make

To test the results, issue: make check. Most of the `ssl` tests fail, using `--with-ssl=gnutls`.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`--with-ssl`: This switch enables SSL support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS respectively. Remove it if you don't have any of these installed. To force GnuTLS usage when both are present, simply pass `--with-ssl=gnutls` and `--with-ca-bundle=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt` to the configure script.

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--with-libxml2`: This switch forces the use of libxml2 instead of Expat.
