Installation of GNOME Shell
First, fix a bug in the meson build process exposed by recent
versions of meson:
sed -i '/i18n.merge_file/s/(.*/(/' $(find -name meson.build)
Install GNOME Shell by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dtests=false .. &&
ninja
To test the results, you need to remove the -Dtests=false switch, and to have
Mutter-41.4 compiled with tests too. Issue:
ninja test. You must
be running an X session to run the tests. Some will fail if
GDM-41.3 is
not installed.
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.
-Dtests=false: Remove this
switch if you want to build the tests. But then meson will fail if Mutter-41.4 tests
are not installed.
-Dextensions=false: This option
disables building the gnome-extensions CLI tool. Using
this option removes the need for asciidoc-10.1.1.
