<para>
First, fix building with recent versions of
<application>meson</application>:
</para>
<screen><userinput>sed "/ policy,/d" -i plugins/{power,wacom}/meson.build</userinput></screen>
-->
<para revision="sysv">
Next, fix libelogind detection for tests:
</para>
<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>sed -e 's/libsystemd/libelogind/' \
-i plugins/power/test.py</userinput></screen>
<para revision="sysv">
Next, fix backlight functionality in gnome-control-center:
</para>
<screen revision="sysv"><userinput>sed -e 's/(backlight->logind_proxy)/(0)/' \
-i plugins/power/gsd-backlight.c</userinput></screen>
<para>
If running the test suite, apply a patch to fix test timeouts
with python-dbusmock 0.30.0 or later:
</para>
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../gnome-settings-daemon-&gnome-settings-daemon-version;-testsuite_fix-1.patch</userinput></screen>
<para>
Install <application>GNOME Settings Daemon</application> by running the
following commands:
</para>
<screen revision='sysv'><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd build &amp;&amp;
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dsystemd=false \

<!-- [renodr, June 29th, 2019]: for some reason, on elogind, all tests
passed. 8 failed on systemd. It could be kernel configuration, or
any other package change. umockdev might be needed, but it works
fine without it on elogind.
[pierre, July 31st, 2020]: only one test passed on elogind. I
have umockdev, but it does not look like it is used. Adding the
sed allows 9 tests out of 10 to pass. -->
<para>
To check the results, execute: <command>ninja test</command>. Note that
you must have <application>python-dbusmock</application> installed in
order for the tests to complete successfully. Some tests
may fail depending on the init system in use.
