Flag Description 2.90.0
dbus Enable dependencies required by glib libraries using dbus service to manage settings saving ✓
debug Enable DCHECK feature with severity configurable at runtime. Mostly intended for debugging and development, NOT RECOMMENDED for general use. ⚠️ ✓
doc Build the Doxygen API documentation for the library. Upstream enables this by default; here it is opt-in so that installing the library does not pull in app-text/doxygen and Graphviz. ⚠️ ✓
elf Enable support for listing and extracting from ELF resource files with gresource tool ⊕
introspection Enable generating introspection data (requires <pkg>dev-libs/gobject-introspection</pkg> ) ⊕
mime Pull in shared MIME database that many glib-based applications require at runtime to detect or open files. Warning: do not disable this flag unless installing on a headless server. ⊕
selinux Enable SELinux policy support for enhanced security in SELinux-enabled systems. Required for proper operation on systems with SELinux in enforcing mode. ⚠️ ✓
static-libs ⚠️ ✓
sysprof Enable profiling data capture support using <pkg>dev-util/sysprof-capture</pkg> ✓
systemtap Build support for profiling and tracing using <pkg>dev-debug/systemtap</pkg> ✓
test Build and run the upstream test suite (requires dbus-test-runner) ⚠️ ✓
utils Install gtester-report utility to generate test report files for your software; build gresource utility with ELF support. ✓
xattr Add support for getting and setting POSIX extended attributes, through sys-apps/attr. Requisite for the virtfs backend. ⚠️ ✓
