Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

-Dgtk_doc=false: This switch prevents the build system from generating and installing the API documentation. Omit this switch if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed and wish to generate and install the API documentation.
