Installation of EOG

Install EOG by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dlibportal=false .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Still as the root user, rebuild the cache database of MIME types handled by desktop files so Nautilus-42.2 will be able to open image files with EOG. 

update-desktop-database

--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
