User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/vte
Install VTE by running the following commands:
sed -i 's%\\177:%&kh=\\EOH:@7=\\EOF:%' termcaps/xterm && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
sed -i ... termcaps/xterm: The Home and End keys are broken in the xterm termcap file. This sed command fixes them.
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte
:
This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the
preferred location of /usr/lib/vte
instead of /usr/libexec
.
--with-glX
: This parameter can be
passed to the configure script to enable
additional drawing methods in the VTE library.
--enable-gtk-doc
: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild the API documentation.
