The only build-time dependency is meson.

meson builddir
ninja -C builddir
ninja -C builddir install

• Python3

• pygobject (>= 3.10)

• gnome-settings-daemon

• sound-theme-freedesktop

• GIR files and libraries from:

  • GLib (>= 2.58)
  • GTK+ 3 (>= 3.12)
  • gnome-desktop (>= 3.30)
  • libhandy (>= 1.0)
  • libsoup
  • libnotify
  • Pango

• GSettings Schemas from:

  • gsettings-desktop-schemas (>= 3.33.0)
  • gnome-shell (>= 3.24)
  • mutter

• Optional:

  • gnome-software (for links from GNOME Shell Extensions page)
  • nautilus 3.26 or older (for icons on the desktop)

• If you wish to run the application uninstalled, execute;

  ./gnome-tweaks [-p /path/to/jhbuild/prefix/]

Tweaks is designed for GNOME Shell but can be used in other desktops. A few features will be missing when Tweaks is run on a different desktop.

• I'm not sure if the TweakGroup layer is necessary, and it makes it hard to categorise things. Perhaps go to a named factory approach
• Do some more things lazily to improve startup speed
