First, fix a race condition that sometimes occurs due to meson dependency ordering:
sed -i '/libmutter_dep = declare_dependency(/a sources: mutter_built_sources,' src/meson.build
Install Mutter by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: dbus-run-session ninja test. The
tests require an active X session to run correctly. It is not
necessary to run a separate D-bus session if not in a GNOME
session, but it provides a clean environment in any case. One test,
native-headless, is known to fail.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
