[Gimp-developer] how to build json-glib in a prefix when building gimp from git in a prefix?

[Elle Stone <ellestone ninedegreesbelow com>]

Anyone know the precise terminal commands for building json-glib in a 
prefix using meson? I'm trying to update this article:

https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/build-gimp-in-prefix-for-artists.html

I already established the prefix using these commands:


PREFIX=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$PREFIX/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $PREFIX/share/aclocal"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/share/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib64/gio/modules
export SRC_DIR=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/build

I'm building on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Probably I need to install meson 
something or other, so does anyone know what package(s) to install? And 
then of course what commands to type.

Best,

and thanks in advance for any help!
