Install Cheese by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dgtk_doc=false \ -Dtests=true .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
--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. Building the documentation is
broken due to an incompatibility with gtk-doc.
-Dtests=true
: This switch
allows building the tests so that the test suite can be run. Remove
this switch if you are not going to run the tests.
