libpeas is a GObject based plugins engine, and is targeted at giving every application the chance to assume its own extensibility.

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Install libpeas by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
--wrap-mode=nofallback \
.. &&
ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2024.1 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed "/docs_dir =/s@\$@/ 'libpeas-1.36.0'@" \
-i ../docs/reference/meson.build &&
meson configure -D gtk_doc=true &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. An active graphical session with bus address is necessary to run the tests.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
--wrap-mode=nofallback:
This switch prevents meson from using subproject
fallbacks for any dependency declarations in the build files,
preventing it from downloading any optional dependencies which are
not installed on the system.
-D vapi=true: Add this switch if you
wish to generate vapi (vala) data.
-D demos=false: Add this switch if you
do not wish to build the demo programs.
