Installation

By default all applets are compiled and installed:

 mkdir build && cd build
 meson --buildtype plain --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
 ninja -v
 sudo ninja install

If individual applets (or groups of applets) are to be compiled and installed use the options described in meson_options.txt i.e. use -Dbuild-all=false -Dbuild-appletoption=true

e.g. to build just the hotcorners and weathershow applets

 mkdir build && cd build
 meson --buildtype plain -Dbuild-all=false -Dbuild-hotcorners=true -Dbuild-weathershow=true --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
 ninja -v
 sudo ninja install
