Build errors in Arch Linux about mibimdeditor HOT 9 OPEN

I think I found the problem, I'll check if it works now, and if it does I'll commit and push it on github

EDIT:
It's not working...

from mibimdeditor.

I set this depends:

depends=('gtk4' 'gtksourceview5' 'libadwaita' 'webkitgtk-6.0')
makedepends=('cmake' 'meson' 'vala')

Where did you added them? Does it works if you try to compile it like it is on the main branch, by running the following commands?

$ meson setup bin
$ cd bin
$ meson compile
# meson install

from mibimdeditor.

Yes. The meson setup bin command works correctly but then the meson compile command is the one that gave me the error I mentioned above, but you must have made some changes and now it works without problems.

The list of dependencies was to let you know that I have installed those dependencies in a clean installation of the system.

Now what fails me is the meson install (I run it as follows to install it in another directory meson install -C build --destdir pkg):

$ meson install -C build --destdir pkg

Is it possible that it is forced not to use destdir in the schema creation script?

You need to be root to install it, because you didn't had the permission to install files in /usr/share.

When I wrote the commands in my previous comment I wrote # meson install because you need to be root.

Try $ sudo meson install -C build --destdir pkg.

from mibimdeditor.

You need to be root to install it, because you didn't had the permission to install files in /usr/share.

So if you do it this way it is impossible to package. Note that package systems work in temporary directories (hence the use of destdir) when creating packages.

I think the problem is that I'm using the prefix option in some paths, but I really have no idea for the moment how to fix that. I don't have a lot of time this week, and I want to make MibiMdEditor translatable, so I'll see how I can fix it later.

If you want you can also try to fix it, and make a pull request if you fixed it.

Sorry, but I don't have enough meson/gtk knowledge to send you a merge request.

No problem, as soon as you can take a look at it I'll make you the Arch Linux package.

Thanks!

In case it helps, in other packages I have built using meson says this when them goes to install:

Skipping custom install script because DESTDIR is set '/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas'
Skipping custom install script because DESTDIR is set '/usr/bin/gtk4-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor'
Skipping custom install script because DESTDIR is set '/usr/bin/update-desktop-database -q /usr/share/applications'

Perhaps this configuration file has the answer?
