User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gcr
Install Gcr by running the following commands:
sed -i 's:"/desktop:"/org:' schema/*.xml && mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk_doc=false .. && ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed -e "/install_dir/s@,\$@ / 'gcr-3.41.1'&@" \
-e "/fatal-warnings/d" \
-i ../docs/*/meson.build &&
meson configure -Dgtk_doc=true &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests must be run from an X Terminal or similar.
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=false: Use this switch if you
haven't installed GTK+-3.24.36. Note that gcr-viewer will not be installed if this is
passed to meson.
-Dgtk_doc=true: 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.
