Install Gjs by running the following commands:
mkdir gjs-build &&
cd gjs-build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
--wrap-mode=nofallback \
.. &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test in a graphical session.
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,
preventing it from downloading any optional dependencies which are
not not installed on the system.
-D profiler=disabled: prevents building
the profiler backend even if sysprof is installed.
