Installation of At-Spi2 Core

Install At-Spi2 Core by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=/usr     \
      --sysconfdir=/etc \
      -Dsystemd_user_dir=/tmp .. &&
ninja

A session bus address, normally available in an Xorg terminal, is necessary to run the tests. To test the results, issue: ninja test. The memory test is known to timeout.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install &&
rm /tmp/at-spi-dbus-bus.service

Command Explanations

-Dsystemd_user_dir=/tmp: This flag puts the systemd unit file in /tmp where it will be removed. SysV, is unable to use this file.
