User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/tracker3
Install Tracker by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Ddocs=false \
-Dman=false \
-Dsystemd_user_services=false .. &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests should be run from a graphical session.
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.
-Ddocs=false: This switch
prevents the build process from generating API documentation. Omit
this switch if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2
installed and wish to generate and install the API documentation.
-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.
