[注意]

注意

The Yelp package is not required for a functional GNOME Desktop. Note, however, that without Yelp you will not be able to view the built-in Help provided by core GNOME and many of the support applications.

Installation of Yelp

Install Yelp by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

Still as the root user, ensure that /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache will be updated and therefore the help in gnome applications will work.
