User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-shell
First, fix a bug in the meson build process exposed by recent versions of meson:
sed -i '/i18n.merge_file/s/(.*/(/' $(find -name meson.build)
Install GNOME Shell by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dsystemd=false \ -Dtests=false \ .. && ninja
To test the results, you need to remove the -Dtests=false
switch, and to have
Mutter-41.4 compiled with tests too. Issue:
ninja test. You must
be running an X session to run the tests. Some will fail if
GDM-41.3 is
not installed.
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.
patch ...: This patch fixes a bug when trying to start an xwayland application on non systemd.
-Dsystemd=false
: Prevents
installing systemd files, which are not needed in this version of
BLFS.
-Dtests=false
: Remove this
switch if you want to build the tests. But then meson will fail if Mutter-41.4 tests
are not installed.
-Dextensions=false
: This option
disables building the gnome-extensions CLI tool. Using
this option removes the need for asciidoc-10.1.1.
