## Installation of GNOME Session

When running Gnome under Wayland-1.17.0, environment settings are not imported for the user using the system profile. The Wayland developers are currently undecided on a standard method to provide system environment settings for user sessions. To work around this limitation, execute the following command to make gnome-session use a login shell:

    sed 's@/bin/sh@/bin/sh -l@' -i gnome-session/gnome-session.in

Install GNOME Session by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson --prefix=/usr .. &&
    ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install
