Waf 2.0.17 glib2 compiles and install the gsettings schemas of hamster smoothly.
Yet it is not possible to run the application without installing first:
python3 src/hamster-cli.py
(hamster-cli.py:4690): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 17:27:08.176:
Settings schema 'org.gnome.Hamster' is not installed
The workaround described in First steps with GSettings does not work.
./waf configure build
...
[127/127] Compiling data/org.gnome.hamster.gschema.xml
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=build/data python3 src/hamster-cli.py
(hamster-cli.py:4850): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 17:31:56.381: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Hamster' is not installed Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=build/data gsettings describe org.gnome.hamster last-report-folder
No such schema “org.gnome.hamster”
and indeed, there is only the empty build/data/org.gnome.hamster.gschema.xml.valid file that serves as a target:
hcode = 'rm -f ${GLIB_VALIDATE_SCHEMA_OUTPUT} \
&& ${GLIB_COMPILE_SCHEMAS} --dry-run ${GLIB_COMPILE_SCHEMAS_OPTIONS} \
&& touch ${GLIB_VALIDATE_SCHEMA_OUTPUT}'
Workaround
Following this answer:
glib-compile-schemas --targetdir=build/data data
Question
How to get the compiled schema in build/data with ./waf configure build ?
