Adapt the above command accordingly. + +### Configuring the source tree + +You can build the source code from a git checkout, or from a `.tar.bz2` release tarball from [Releases](https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libusbmuxd/releases). +Before we can build it, the source tree has to be configured for building. The steps depend on where you got the source from. -### Debian / Ubuntu Linux +Since libusbmuxd depends on other packages, you should set the pkg-config environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` +accordingly.
