Install Gtkmm by running the following commands:
mkdir gtkmm3-build && cd gtkmm3-build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. Note that you must be in a graphical environment, as the tests try to open some windows.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
If you have built the documentation (see Command Explanations below) it was installed to /usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.0. For consistency, move it to a versioned directory as the root user:
mv -v /usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.0 /usr/share/doc/gtkmm-3.24.8
-Dbuild-documentation=true: If you have installed Doxygen-1.10.0 this define will build and install the documentation.
