133 meson --prefix=/usr -Ddocs=false -Dman=false .. &&
134 ninja</userinput></screen>

143 To test the results, issue: <command>ninja test</command>. The tests
144 should be run from a graphical session. One test,
145 <filename>tracker:functional/portal</filename>, is known to timeout.
146 14 tests will fail if the Python 3 module tap.py is not installed.
