Both gcr-3 and gcr-4 are coinstallable. This version of the package is used to support GTK-4 applications, such as "gnome-shell" and "epiphany".
Prepare Gcr by running the following commands:
meson setup build --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-D gtk_doc=false \
-D ssh_agent=falseninja -C build
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
--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype
suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may
produce unoptimized binaries.
-D gtk4=false: Use this switch if you
haven't installed GTK-4.20.3. Note that
gcr-viewer-gtk4 will not be installed
if this is passed to meson.
-D gtk_doc=false: Allow building this
package without "gi-docgen" installed.
-D ssh_agent=false: Disable the ssh-agent
implementation of 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 crypto=gnutls: Use this switch if you have
GnuTLS-3.8.11 installed and wish to use it
instead of libgcrypt-1.11.2.
