Next, fix libelogind detection for tests:
sed -e 's/libsystemd/libelogind/' \ -i plugins/power/test.py
Next, fix backlight functionality in gnome-control-center:
sed -e 's/(backlight->logind_proxy)/(0)/' \ -i plugins/power/gsd-backlight.c
Install GNOME Settings Daemon by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dsystemd=false .. && ninja
To check the results, execute: ninja test. Note that you must have python-dbusmock installed in order for the tests to complete successfully. Some tests may fail depending on the init system in use.
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.
