GTK-Doc-1.3 and PyGTK
Install VTE by running the following commands:
sed -i -e 's%\\177:%&kh=\\EOH:@7=\\EOF:%g' termcaps/xterm && ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-gtk-doc && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
sed -i -e ...: The Home and End keys are broken in the xterm termcap file. This sed command fixes them.
--libexecdir=/usr/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec.
--disable-gtk-doc: This switch prevents the building of documentation. Remove it if you have GTK-Doc installed and wish to rebuild the documentation.
