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
All of these packages and their development headers need to be installed
prior to building GPlugin.
GPlugin uses meson (http://mesonbuild.com/) as its build system. As such
compiling is a little bit different than your typical ./configure, make,
sudo make install. But luckily for you, not too much different.
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 mesonconf in the build directory.
