User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gcr
Install Gcr by running the following commands:
sed -i 's:"/desktop:"/org:' schema/*.xml &&
sed -e '208 s/@BASENAME@/gcr-viewer.desktop/' \
-e '231 s/@BASENAME@/gcr-prompter.desktop/' \
-i ui/meson.build &&
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk_doc=false .. &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The tests must be run from an X Terminal or similar.
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.
sed ... schema/*.xml: This command fixes a deprecated entry in the schema template.
sed ... ui/meson.build: This command fixes a problem when building with meson-0.59.0.
-Dgtk=false: Use this switch if you
haven't installed GTK+-3.24.30. Note that gcr-viewer will not be installed if this is
passed to meson.
-Dgtk_doc=true: Use this switch if you
wish to generate the API reference documentation. Note that you
must have GTK-Doc installed.
