Build with Meson

The project uses a build system called Meson. You can install in most Linux distributions as "meson".

It's possible to read more information in the Meson docs to tweak the configuration if needed.

For a regular use and local development these are the steps to build the project and install it:

meson --prefix=$HOME/.local/ --localedir=share/gnome-shell/extensions/bigSur-StatusArea@ordissimo.com/locale .build
ninja -C .build install

It is strongly recommended to delete the destination folder ($HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/bigSur-StatusArea@ordissimo.com) before doing this, to ensure that no old data is kept.

Export extension ZIP file for extensions.gnome.org

To create a ZIP file with the extension, just run:

./export-zip.sh

This will create the file bigSur-StatusArea@ordissimo.com.zip with the extension, following the rules for publishing at extensions.gnome.org.
