Installation of gegl
If you are installing over a previous version of gegl, one of the modules will need to be
removed. As the root user, run the
following command to remove it:
rm -f /usr/lib/gegl-0.4/vector-fill.so
Install gegl by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
ninja
To run the tests, issue: ninja
test. Fourteen tests are known to fail in the
gegl:ff-load-save portion of the test
suite due to incompatibilities with recent versions of ffmpeg.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
