Installation of GNOME Terminal

Install GNOME Terminal by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --disable-static          \
            --disable-migration       \
            --disable-search-provider \
            --without-nautilus-extension &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
[Note]

Note

To run GNOME Terminal, the environment variable LANG must be set to a UTF-8 locale prior to starting the graphical environment.

Command Explanations

--disable-search-provider: This switch disables the “search gnome-shell” provider. This is necessary because gnome-shell is not in BLFS. Remove this if you have gnome-shell installed.

--without-nautilus-extension: This switch disables the a dependency on the nautilus file manager.

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

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