      Install <application>Shared Mime Info</application> by running the

    </para>

    <para>
      If you wish to run the test suite, you must first extract the
      <filename>xdgmime</filename> tarball into the current directory,
      and compile it so that <command>meson</command> can find it:
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>tar -xf ../xdgmime.tar.xz &amp;&amp;
make -C xdgmime</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      One of the changes in meson-0.60 broke this package. To fix that
      apply a patch:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>patch -p1 -i ../shared-mime-info-&shared-mime-info-version;-meson_0.60_fix-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Now build the package:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd    build &amp;&amp;

meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dupdate-mimedb=true .. &amp;&amp;
ninja</userinput></screen>
