If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR”
method, /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the
following command as the root
user:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=false
: This
switch disables generating the API documentation. Omit this switch
if you have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed and wish to generate
the API documentation.
