Install Wireplumber by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -D system-lua=true .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
Finally, rename the documentation directory to a versioned
directory as the root user:
mv -v /usr/share/doc/wireplumber{,-0.5.7}
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D system-lua=true: This
switch enables using the system version of Lua. Omit this switch if
you have not installed Lua, but note that meson will download and install it's own
version.
In order for Wireplumber to be used by Pipewire, Wireplumber must be configured to start when a desktop environment is started.
To configure Wireplumber to start when a desktop environment is
started, run the following commands as the root user to enable the systemd user units:
systemctl enable --global pipewire.socket && systemctl enable --global wireplumber
Now that Wireplumber is configured to start when a desktop environment is started, it is recommended that you log out of your session and log back in again.
