Recommended dependencies are not strictly required for this package to build and function, but you may not get expected results at runtime if you don't install them.
Next, fix libelogind detection for tests:
sed -e 's/libsystemd/libelogind/' \
-i plugins/power/test.py
Next, fix backlight functionality in gnome-control-center:
sed -e 's/(backlight->logind_proxy)/(0)/' \
-i plugins/power/gsd-backlight.c
Install GNOME Settings Daemon by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-D systemd=false \
.. &&
ninja
To check the results, execute: ninja test. Note that you must have python-dbusmock installed in order for the tests to complete successfully, and many test cases will be skipped without both Mutter-50.4 and gnome-session-50.1 installed.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
