Installation of At-Spi2 Core
Install At-Spi2 Core by running the following
commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
ninja
The test suite also requires the glib schemas of the package to be
installed already. To test the results, install the package first,
then issue: dbus-run-session ninja test.
One test, atk-test, is known to timeout on some
systems.
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.

documentation. Note that you must have both
Gi-DocGen-2023.3
and sphinx-7.2.6 installed on your system.
