User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-session
When running GNOME under Wayland-1.19.0, environment settings are not imported for the user using the system profile. The Wayland developers are currently undecided on a standard method to provide system environment settings for user sessions. To work around this limitation, execute the following command to make gnome-session use a login shell:
sed 's@/bin/sh@/bin/sh -l@' -i gnome-session/gnome-session.in
Adapt meson.build so that gnome-session can build without systemd:
sed -i "/ systemd_dep/,+3d;/if enable_systemd/a \ systemd_userunitdir = '/tmp\'" meson.build
Install GNOME Session by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr \ -Dsystemd_journal=false \ .. && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
Now, as the root
user, remove
systemd units that are useless on SysV systems:
rm -rv /tmp/{*.d,*.target,*.service}
