User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libgweather
Install libgweather by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dgtk_doc=false .. && ninja
One test needs that the locale files be installed on the system, so it is better to run the tests after installing the package.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=C ninja test. One test, metar, is known to fail.
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=false: allows
building without using the bundled gi-docgen module. Remove this switch if you
have installed Gi-DocGen-2023.1, and wish to build and
install the API documentation. If this switch is removed, as the
root user, fix the location of the
documentation with the mv
/usr/share/doc/libgweather-{4.0,4.2.0} command.
