Installation of GNOME Session

When running Gnome under Wayland-1.12.0, environment settings are not imported for the user using the system's /etc/profile. The Wayland developers are currently undecided on a standard method to provide system environment settings for user sessions. To work around this limitation, execute the following commands to import the system environment from /etc/profile:

mv gnome-session/gnome-session.{in,bak} &&
cat > gnome-session/gnome-session.in << "EOF" &&
#!/bin/sh

# Source /etc/profile if running in Xwayland
if [ "${XDG_SESSION_TYPE}" == "wayland" ]; then
    . /etc/profile
fi
EOF
sed 's@#!/bin/sh@@' gnome-session/gnome-session.bak >> \
    gnome-session/gnome-session.in

Install GNOME Session by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gnome-session-3.22.2 &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install
