If you are upgrading from a previous version of this package,
remove a conflicting file by running the following command as the
root user:
rm -fv /usr/lib/libnautilus-extension.so.4
Install Nautilus by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
.. &&
ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2026.1 installed and you wish to generate and install the API documentation, issue the following commands:
sed "/docdir =/s@\$@ / 'nautilus-49.3'@" -i ../meson.build && meson configure -D docs=true && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests need to be run in a graphical environment. One test is known to fail if localsearch-3.10.2 is not installed. One test is also known to timeout if the user running the tests has a large home directory.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
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
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D cloudproviders=false: Use this
switch if you do not have libcloudproviders-0.3.6 installed.
-D tests=none: Use this switch if you
do not have localsearch-3.10.2 installed. But note
that it would disable most tests in the test suite, and Nautilus
would fail to start until you install localsearch-3.10.2.
