If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


Note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

gnome-shell/src/st/meson.build:195:2: ERROR: Dependency "libmutter-test-11" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

then you might want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Rebuild mutter-performance package with _enable_check=y env.

And try again.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

Anyone else getting a memory leak? On my computer, gnome-shell memory usage starts at <1GB, but after 3 days uptime it is currently at 5GB. Also, overview animation becomes laggy after a few days uptime as well (drops to 10 fps in worst case).

Updated to gnome-44.

@thebigboo I don't care about your impatience. You don't pay & owe us maintainers.

@thebigboo Dude, that's not how you talk to people who maintain this stuff for free in their spare time.

With all due respect. Update your s**t.

Interesting, I had tried running with --nocheck, but I guess that doesn't disable the dependency check for the tests.

Saltyming commented on 2022-12-04 18:21 (UTC)

@saghm @phush0 Fixed it via disabling check() and tests meson setup option by default.

I had the same issue with libmutter-test-11, but seeing that it build fine for Chaotic AUR made me think the issue might be from having mutter-performance installed rather than mutter from the main repos. Replacing mutter-performance with just plain mutter did let me build gnome-performance, after which I reinstalled mutter-performance again. I suspect the solution here might be for mutter-performance to indicate that it provides libmutter-test-11.

@phush0 Seems like it builds fine here.
