User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-control-center
If upgrading from gnome-control-center-41 or earlier, remove a
desktop file that would result in duplicated menu entries. As the
root
user:
rm -f /usr/share/applications/gnome-control-center.desktop
Install GNOME Control Center by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. Note that you must have the python-dbusmock module installed in order for the tests to complete successfully.
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.
-Dibus=false
: Use this switch if you
have not installed the recommended IBus dependency.
