libportal-0.6
Installation of libportal
Warning
If a previous version of libportal is installed, move the headers
out of the way so that later packages do not encounter conflicts
(as the root
user):
if [ -e /usr/include/libportal ]; then
rm -rf /usr/include/libportal.old &&
mv -vf /usr/include/libportal{,.old}
fi
Install libportal by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Ddocs=false .. &&
ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and wish to
build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed "/output/s/-1/-0.6/" -i ../doc/meson.build &&
meson configure -Ddocs=true &&
ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
Command Explanations
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Ddocs=false
: Allow
building this package without Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed. If you have
Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and you wish to
rebuild and install the API documentation, a meson configure command will
reset this option.
-Dbackends=gtk3,gtk4,qt5
: This switch
allows you to set the available backends. You can use it to disable
the dependency on gtk-3, gtk-4, or qt-5. Most applications that use
libportal will use either gtk-4 or gtk-3. The default is to build
all three backends.
