I'm trying to install libfprint 0.99.0 from here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/releases The version available in Ubuntu repos do not support my fingerprint scanner (Elan). There is an instruction in here http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html how to use meson. Basically, I run all commands but at the end, after running ninja and building it I've no idea how to install it. Also running ninja-test gives me this:

$ ninja test
[0/1] Running all tests.
No tests defined.

So I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

First, install all the dependencies with the following command

sudo apt-get install gtk+-3.0 libglib2.0-dev libnss3-dev libpixman-1-dev libusb-1.0.0-dev libx11-dev libxv-dev pkg-config ninja-build

Later, move to the container directory, usually in cd ~/libfprint

Although the installation is recommended in a non-isolated environment, it is more complicated. So once in the mentioned directory follow the next commands:

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install meson

Once the isolated'environment was created is time to install the program. So the commands are as follow

venv/bin/meson builddir #After this line all dependencies should be in red YES

venv/bin/meson configure builddir -Ddoc=false -Dlibdir=lib

cd builddir

ninja

sudo ninja install

Finishing this, you must have the installation, to check out if it is working and if the installation is Home just go to the directory ~/libfprint/builddir/examples and execute sudo ./img_capture to register a fingerprint, or sudo ./verify to verify a registered fingerprint.

If you want to use your fingerprint to login into your system, then you need to enroll it to fingerprint-demo. To do so just execute sudo ./enroll considering you are in the last mentioned directory.

In case you haven't install fingerprint-demo just do sudo apt-get install fingerprint-demo and to run it a simply fingerprint_demo is enough.

Cheers.
