Fix the location to install the documentation into:
mv docs/reference/libtracker-sparql/doc/{Tracker-3.0,tracker-3.6.0} && sed '/docs_name/s/Tracker-3.0/tracker-3.6.0/' \ -i docs/reference/libtracker-sparql/meson.build
Install Tracker by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dman=false \ -Dsystemd_user_services=false \ .. && ninja
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: meson configure -Ddebug=true && ninja test. The test suite should be run from a graphical session.
--buildtype=release
: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dman=false
: This switch prevents the build process from generating man pages. Omit this switch if you have asciidoc-10.2.0 installed and wish to generate and install the man pages.
-Dsystemd_user_services=false
: This switch prevents the build process from installing systemd user services since they are useless on SysV systems.
meson configure -Ddebug=true: This command enables some debug checks necessary for the test suite. We don't want to enable them for the installed Tracker 3 libraries and programs, so we run the test suite after installation.
