## Installation of GNOME Tweaks

First, if you are upgrading from gnome-tweaks-3.34.x, remove some incompatible files as the `root` user:

    rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gtweak

Next, fix building with newer versions of meson:

    sed -i '/merge_file/s/(.*/(/' data/meson.build

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release &&
    ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install
