Installation of GNOME Screenshot

[Note]

Note

There is a build problem caused by a file installed by gettext in LFS. If gettext was installed with instructions before the April 11, 2018 version of LFS, run the following as the root user: 

sed -e '/AppData/N;N;p;s/\.appdata\./.metainfo./' \
    -i /usr/share/gettext-0.19.8/its/appdata.loc

Install GNOME Screenshot by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=/usr .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Note

In order to best run GNOME Screenshot from the command line, the --interactive option needs to be specified.
