Fix the location to install the documentation into:
mv docs/reference/libtracker-sparql/doc/{Tracker-3.0,tracker-3.6.0} &&
sed '/docs_name/s/Tracker-3.0/tracker-3.6.0/' \
-i docs/reference/libtracker-sparql/meson.build
Install Tracker by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dman=false \
-Dsystemd_user_services=false \
.. &&
ninja
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: meson configure -Ddebug=true && ninja test. The test suite should be run from a graphical session.
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dman=false: This switch
prevents the build process from generating man pages. Omit this
switch if you have asciidoc-10.2.0 installed and wish to
generate and install the man pages.
-Dsystemd_user_services=false: This
switch prevents the build process from installing systemd user
services since they are useless on SysV systems.
meson configure -Ddebug=true: This command enables some debug checks necessary for the test suite. We don't want to enable them for the installed Tracker 3 libraries and programs, so we run the test suite after installation.
