mkdir build &&
cd build &&

--buildtype=release \
-D libportal=false \
.. &&
ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
Still as the root user, rebuild the
cache database of MIME types handled by desktop files so Nautilus-46.2
will be able to open image files with EOG.
update-desktop-database
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-D libportal=false: This
parameter disables building EOG with support for flatpak portals.
Remove this parameter if you have libportal-0.8.1 installed and wish to have
support for flatpak portals.
-D gtk_doc=true: Use this option if
GTK-Doc-1.34.0 is installed and you wish to
rebuild and install the API documentation.
