Installation of Gcr

First, apply a fix for building without OpenSSH installed:

sed '/ssh.add/d; /ssh.agent/d' -i meson.build

Prepare Gcr by running the following commands:

sed -i 's:"/desktop:"/org:' schema/*.xml

meson setup build --prefix=/usr \
            --buildtype=release \
            -D gtk_doc=false    \
            -D ssh_agent=false
ninja -C build
[Note]

Note

The tests must be run from an X Terminal or similar. To test the results, issue:

ninja -C build test

Now Install the package, as the root user:

ninja -C build install

Command Explanations

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

-D ssh_agent=false: Disable the ssh-agent implementation from this package. This implementation is intended to replace the ssh-agent implementation of gnome-keyring-48.0, but the replacement still has several unresolved issues.

-D gtk=false: Use this switch if you haven't installed GTK-3.24.51. Note that gcr-viewer will not be installed if this is option is used.

-D gtk_doc=true: If you want to build the documentation and you have "gi-docgen" installed.
