Installation of Tinysparql

[Warning]

Warning

If you are upgrading this package from a version that was from when this package was known as Tracker, remove a file that will cause a conflict as the root user:

rm -fv /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker-xdg-portal-3.service

Fix the location to install the documentation into:

sed -e "s/'generate'/&, '--no-namespace-dir'/"         \
    -e "/--output-dir/s/@OUTPUT@/&\/tinysparql-3.11.1/" \
    -i docs/reference/meson.build

Install Tinysparql by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
            --buildtype=release \
            -D man=false        \
            -D tests=false      \
            ..                  &&
ninja

If the optional dependency asciidoc-10.2.1 is installed, you may build the man pages with:

meson configure -D man=true && ninja

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

To test the results, ensure PyGObject-3.56.3 is installed and issue: meson configure -D debug=true -D tests=true && LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ninja test. The test suite should be run from a graphical session. One test, test_cli, is known to fail if the man pages were not built. One test named tinysparql:sparql is known to fail with SQLite 3.53.1 or newer.

Command Explanations

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

meson configure -D debug=true: This command enables some debug checks necessary for the test suite. We don't want to enable them for the installed tinysparql libraries and programs, so we run the test suite after installation.
