To fix that apply a patch: patch -p1 -i ../shared-mime-info-&shared-mime-info-version;-shared-mime-info_meson_0.60_fix-1.patch Now build the package: mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dupdate-mimedb=true .. && ninja If you have followed the instructions above to build xdgmime, to test the result issue ninja test. Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dupdate-mimedb=true: This parameter tells the build system to run update-mime-database during installation. Otherwise, this must be done manually in order to be able to use the MIME database.
