User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/mutter
Install Mutter by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dtests=false .. && ninja
The test suite for this package does not work on systems using glibc-2.35 and later.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dtests=false: Prevents
building the tests, and removes a hard requirement on catchsegv or xvfb-run.
-Dprofiler=false: Use this option if
Sysprof is not installed, and you
don't want meson to download Sysprof source code.
