If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR”
method, /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the
following command as the root
user:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
One test would fail if this package is not installed, so it's better to run the test suite after installation. To test the results, issue LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ninja test. The tests must 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.
