Installation of Pango
Install Pango 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@\$@ / 'pango-1.54.0'@" -i ../docs/meson.build &&
meson configure -D documentation=true &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja
test. Two tests, testiter and test-font, are known
to fail for unknown reason.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
Command Explanations
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D introspection=disabled
: Use this
switch if you do not want to use GObject Introspection.
--wrap-mode=nofallback
:
This switch prevents meson from using subproject
fallbacks for any dependency declarations in the build files,
stopping it downloading any optional dependency which is not
installed on the system.
