GPlugin depends on the following at a bare minimum:
* gobject-introspection, libgirepository1.0-dev
A full build (enabled by default) depends on the following:
* python3-dev, python-gi-dev, python3-gi
* libperl-dev, libglib-perl, libglib-object-introspection-perl
* liblua5.1-0-dev, lua-lgi
All of these packages and their development headers need to be installed
prior to building GPlugin.
GPlugin uses [
meson](
https://mesonbuild.com/) as its build system. As such
compiling is a little bit different than your typical
`./configure`,
`make`,
Meson requires you to build in a separate directory than your source. As such,
these instructions use a separate build directory.
To compile you need to run the following commands:
If you want/need to tweak the build system (to enable/disable certain loaders)
you can do so at any time by using
`meson configure` in the build directory.
