## Installation of Gedit

First, build the gfls library:

    tar -xf ../libgedit-gfls-0.1.0.tar.xz &&
    pushd libgedit-gfls-0.1.0             &&

    mkdir gfls-build &&
    cd    gfls-build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
                --buildtype=release \
                -D gtk_doc=false    \
                ..                  &&
    ninja

To test the results, run: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install &&
    popd

Second, build the tepl library:

    tar -xf ../libgedit-tepl-6.10.0.tar.xz &&
    pushd libgedit-tepl-6.10.0             &&

    mkdir tepl-build &&
    cd    tepl-build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
                --buildtype=release \
                -D gtk_doc=false    \
                ..                  &&
    ninja

To test the results, run: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install &&
    popd

Finally, install Gedit by running the following commands:

    mkdir gedit-build &&
    cd    gedit-build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
                --buildtype=release \
                -D gtk_doc=false    \
                .. &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

### Note

If you installed the package to your system using a “DESTDIR” method, `/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled` was not updated/created. Create (or update) the file using the following command as the `root` user:

    glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

## Command Explanations
