Installation of Tracker-miners

First, as the root user, remove some files from tracker-2 which will conflict with tracker-miners-3:

rm -v /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-miner-*

Install Tracker-miners by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson --prefix=/usr -Dsystemd_user_services=false -Dman=false .. &&
ninja

To test the results, as the root user, issue: ninja test. One test, tracker-miners:miners-common / file-utils, may fail due to internal test suite problems.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

Command Explanations

-Dman=false: This switch prevents the build process from generating man pages. Omit this switch if you have asciidoc-9.1.0 installed and wish to generate and install the man pages.

-Dsystemd_user_services=false: This switch prevents the build process from installing systemd units since they are useless on SysV systems.

-Dminer_rss=false: Use this option if you have not installed the recommended dependency libgrss.
