Install Gjs by running the following commands:
mkdir gjs-build && cd gjs-build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. The GTK and Cairo tests will fail if not running in an Xorg session. Four tests are known to timeout.
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.
