    ## Development Guide - ### Running locally - - GLib requires setting fields to be defined in XML schema file, which will be installed to shared directory then be compiled to binary file using system tool. - Due to this design limitation, you have to pre-compile `data/*.gschema.xml` file into the binary file for local run. - The `-Dcompile-gschema` option performs that compile task and emits the generated binary file onto `<zig-out>/share/glib-2.0/schemas`. - You can tell GLib to load the compiled file using `GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR` environment variable: + ### Running application ``` - GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=./zig-out/share/glib-2.0/schemas ./zig-out/bin/plac + zig build run ``` ### Enable debug logging
