Install XKeyboardConfig by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. Two tests. test_compat_layout[mapping39-base] and test_compat_layout[mapping39-evdev], are known to fail.
If upgrading from version 2.44 or earlier, the installation will
fail if some files are not symbolic links. To fix this, run as
the root
user:
if [ -d $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb ]; then rm -rf $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb rm -f $XORG_PREFIX/share/man/man7/xkeyboard-config.7 rm -f $XORG_PREFIX/share/pkgconfig/xkeyboard-config.pc fi
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.
