Mutter-49.2

Installation of Mutter

Fix an issue with the tests that would otherwise require the package to be built with debugging information:

sed "/tests_c_args =/s/$/ + ['-U', 'G_DISABLE_ASSERT']/" -i src/tests/meson.build &&
sed "/c_args:/a '-U', 'G_DISABLE_ASSERT'," -i src/tests/cogl/unit/meson.build

Install Mutter by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr            \
            --buildtype=release      \
            -D tests=disabled        \
            -D profiler=false        \
            -D bash_completion=false \
            ..                       &&
ninja

If you want to run the test suite, ensure dbusmock-0.37.1 is installed and issue:

meson configure -D tests=enabled &&
ninja test

The tests require an active Wayland session. Some tests are flaky (especially if your system is under a high load), so if a test fails you can try to run a specific test again by using the meson test <test name> command. A few tests may fail depending on some system configuration. Don't make any mouse or keyboard input while the test suite is running or some tests may fail. You can also test basic functions of Mutter following the section called “Starting Mutter,” after installing this package.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install
