In the libvips directory you should just be able to do:
$ ./configure
Check the summary at the end of `configure` carefully.
libvips must have `build-essential`, `pkg-config`, `glib2.0-dev`, and
`libxml2-dev`.
For the vips8 Python binding, you must have
`gobject-introspection`, `python-gi-dev`, and `libgirepository1.0-dev`.
You'll need the dev packages for the file format support you want. For basic
jpeg and tiff support, you'll need
`libtiff5-dev`, `libjpeg-turbo8-dev`, and `libgsf-1-dev`.
See the Dependencies section below for a full list of the things that
libvips can be configured to use.
Once `configure` is looking OK, compile and install with the usual:
$ make
$ sudo make install
By default this will install files to `/usr/local`.
See the Dependencies section below for a list of the things that
libvips needs in order to be able to build.
