GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 775461
Flatpak builds doesn't get the config options from the json manifest
Last modified: 2017-02-15 01:32:56 UTC
Nautilus needs some config options passed to autogen https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/org.gnome.Nautilus.json#n98 However the config options of builder using the flatpak build doesn't peek those, and therefore needs to be added manually to the build preferences. I guess this is in the plans, just filing a bug to track the progress from a nautilus bug.
This has been fixed on the master branch.
