User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/hexchat
Install HexChat by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dwith-lua=false \ -Dwith-python=false \ .. && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
-Dwith-lua=false
: By
default, this package will look for luajit. However, the Lua plugin
support is currently broken and will cause the application to crash
on startup.
-Dwith-python=false
: If the
Python interface should be enabled, remove this switch or set it to
true
. When enabling Python, two
additional modules (cffi and pycparser) needs to be installed prior
to installation of Hexchat.
-Dwith-libcanberra=false
: Use this
switch if you have libcanberra not installed.
