The DConf package contains a low-level configuration system. Its main purpose is to provide a backend to GSettings on platforms that don't already have configuration storage systems.
The DConf-Editor, as the name suggests, is a graphical editor for the DConf database. Installation is optional, because gsettings from GLib-2.72.3 provides similar functionality on the commandline.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-11.2 platform.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dconf
Install DConf by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dbash_completion=false .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test
As the root user:
ninja install
Now, optionally install the editor:
cd .. &&
tar -xf ../dconf-editor-3.38.3.tar.xz &&
cd dconf-editor-3.38.3 &&
sed -e '/ desktop,/d' \
-e '/ appdata,/d' \
-i editor/meson.build &&
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
ninja
As the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dgtk_doc=true: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
sed -e '/ desktop,/d' ...: This fixes a failure to build with newer versions of meson.
