### Compilation instructions



See INSTALL.



When running, if you get the following warning about the EasyTAG settings

schema that is not installed:



(easytag:19122): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.EasyTAG' is not installed



make sure that the GSettings schema and enums files can be found somewhere in

$XDG_DATA_DIRS/glib-2.0/schemas (for example /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas) and

that the schema cache has been updated with glib-compile-schemas.



There are two files to copy to the schema path, and the glib-compile-schemas

command must run on the directories which have been updated. Example commands

follow:



sudo cp org.gnome.EasyTAG.enums.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

sudo cp data/org.gnome.EasyTAG.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/



If uninstalling, the files should be removed and the schema cache updated.
