Install GNOME Shell by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -D systemd=false \ -D tests=false \ .. && ninja
To test the results, you need to remove the -D tests=false
switch, and to have
Mutter-46.4 compiled and installed with tests
also. To run the tests, issue: ninja
test. You must be running an X session to run the
tests. Some will fail if GDM-46.2 is not installed. Several more tests may fail in the Sysv
environment. One test named CSS
styling support
is known to fail with some multi-monitor
configurations.
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.
-D systemd=false
: Prevents
installing systemd files, which are not needed in this version of
BLFS.
-D tests=false
: Remove this
switch if you want to build the tests. However, meson will fail if the Mutter-46.4 tests
are not installed.
-D extensions_tool=false
: This switch
allows building this package without gnome-autoar-0.4.4 installed.
