Installation of GNOME Terminal

Install GNOME Terminal by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --disable-static          \
            --disable-migration       \
            --disable-search-provider &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--disable-search-provider: This switch disables “search gnome-shell” provider. Necessary, because gnome-shell is not in BLFS. Remove it, if you have gnome-shell installed.

--disable-migration: This switch disables building of the GNOME Terminal GConf migration tool which is not necessary for BLFS.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
