<title>Installation of libportal</title>
<warning>
<para>
If a previous version of libportal is installed, move the
headers out of the way so that later packages do not encounter
conflicts (as the <systemitem role="username">root</systemitem>
user):
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>if [ -e /usr/include/libportal ]; then
rm -rf /usr/include/libportal.old &amp;&amp;
mv -vf /usr/include/libportal{,.old}
fi</userinput></screen>
</warning>
<para>
If running the test suite, apply a patch to fix a dozen of test
failures with python-dbusmock 0.30.0 or later:
</para>
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../libportal-&libportal-version;-testsuite_fix-1.patch</userinput></screen>
<para>
Install <application>libportal</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd build &amp;&amp;
meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Ddocs=false .. &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>
<para>
If you have <xref linkend='gi-docgen'/> installed and wish to build
the API documentation for this package, issue:
</para>
<screen role='nodump'><userinput>sed "/output/s/-1/-&libportal-version;/" -i ../doc/meson.build &amp;&amp;
meson configure -Ddocs=true &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>
<para>
To test the results, issue: <command>ninja test</command>. Note that
additional <filename>dbus-daemon</filename> processes may need to be
killed after the tests are run.
</para>

<!-- These options are now automatically detected, so it doesn't make sense to
explicitly set which ones are used (as of version 0.7)
<para>
<option>-Dbackends=gtk3,gtk4,qt5</option>: This switch allows you to set
the available backends. You can use it to disable the dependency on gtk-3,
gtk-4, or qt-5. Most applications that use libportal will use either
gtk-4 or gtk-3. The default is to build all three backends.
