=============
I just used 'meson && ninja -j1'
The gnome-screenshot-3.22.0 package currently in the book builds fine.
I tried getting the git master but it fails as above.
The file src/meson.build has the sequence:
i18n.merge_file('desktop',
input: 'org.gnome.Screenshot.metainfo.xml.in',
output: 'org.gnome.Screenshot.metainfo.xml',
po_dir: join_paths(meson.current_source_dir(), '../po'),
install: true,
install_dir: gnome_screenshot_appdatadir)
If I comment that out, the build completes.
Any ideas about how to get this to work for the book?
I have itstool-2.0.2 which is built with python2 and
gnome-screenshot-3.26.0 builds fine for me. I'm waiting for the next
version of itstool before I update itstool in my build.
Thanks Wayne. I tried reverting to itstool-2.0.2 and I still get the same
failure. It must be something else, but it's good to know that someone
else was able to build it successfully.
I did, and do still, suspect something in my setup. I can say it's not a
systemd/sysV issue because DJ gets the same error on a systemd build.
