User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/epiphany
First, fix building with newer versions of meson:
sed -i '/merge_file/{n;d}' data/meson.build
Next, fix an issue building Epiphany with libportal-0.5 or later:
sed "/dependency/s@'libportal'@'libportal-gtk3'@" -i meson.build sed "/portal-gtk3/s@portal/@portal-gtk3/@" -i lib/ephy-flatpak-utils.c
Install Epiphany by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
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
One test would fail if this package is not installed, so it's better to run the test suite after installation. To test the results, issue ninja test. The tests must be run from a graphical session.
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
