libpeas is a GObject based plugins engine, and is targeted at giving every application the chance to assume its own extensibility.

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libpeas
Install libpeas by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release --wrap-mode=nofallback .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test. An active graphical session with bus address is necessary to run the tests.
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.
--wrap-mode=nofallback:
This switch prevents meson from using subproject
fallbacks for any dependency declarations in the build files,
stopping it downloading any optional dependency which is not
installed on the system.
-Dvapi=true: Add this switch if you
wish to generate vapi (vala) data.
-Ddemos=false: Add this switch if you
do not wish to build the demo programs.
-Dgtk_doc=true: Add this switch if you
wish to build the reference manual and you have Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed on your system.
