## Installation of Seahorse

First, fix a build failure that occurs with gpgme-2.x:

    sed -i "/GPGME_EVENT_NEXT_TRUSTITEM/d" pgp/seahorse-gpgme.c

Install Seahorse by running the following commands:

    sed -i -r 's:"(/apps):"/org/gnome\1:' data/*.xml &&

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

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

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

`--buildtype=release`: Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may produce unoptimized binaries.

sed ... data/*.xml: This command fixes some deprecated entries in the schema templates.
