Compiling And Installing Liferea 1.13.7

Published on 04 April, 2022 by amj
Liferea: https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea

This required the removal of Liferea 1.13.6 before successfully installing 1.13.7. The installer kept complaining about /usr/local/bin/liferea from liferea-amd64-1.13.6 already existing. May be related to 1.13.7 being a "pre-release," but I kind of doubt it.

• Install required development packages:
  

~sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libsqlite3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libjson-glib-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libpeas-dev gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev python3 libtool intltool
