Installation of VTE
Install VTE by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-D _systemd=false &&
ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2024.1 installed and wish to build
the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed -e "/docdir =/s@\$@/ 'vte-0.76.4'@" \
-i ../doc/reference/meson.build &&
meson configure -D docs=true &&
ninja
To test the results, issue ninja
test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install &&
rm -v /etc/profile.d/vte.*
