Introduction to GNOME Color Manager

GNOME Color Manager is a session framework for the GNOME desktop environment that makes it easy to manage, install and generate color profiles.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.4 platform.

Package Information

GNOME Color Manager Dependencies

Required

colord-gtk-0.1.26, colord-1.4.3, GTK+-3.24.5, itstool-2.0.5, Little CMS-2.9, libcanberra-0.30, and libexif-0.6.21

Recommended

Exiv2-0.27.0 and VTE-0.54.3

Optional

appstream-glib and DocBook-utils-0.6.14 (currently causes build to fail)

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-color-manager

Installation of GNOME Color Manager

If DocBook-utils-0.6.14 is installed, disable installation of the man pages to avoid a build failure: 

sed /subdir\(\'man/d -i meson.build

Install GNOME Color Manager by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=/usr -Dexiv=false .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Command Explanations

-Dexiv=false: This switch is used to disable using Exiv2 because Exiv2-0.27 changed the API in a way that several applications cannot use.
