User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gedit
Install Gedit by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
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.
-Duser_documentation=false
:
This switch disables generating the user documentation. Omit this
switch if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed and wish to
generate the user documentation.
-Dgtk_doc=true
: Use this option to
build the reference manual (needs GTK-Doc-1.33.2).
