Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &vte-md5sum; Download size: &vte-size; Estimated disk space required: &vte-buildsize; Estimated build time: &vte-time; VTE Dependencies Required and Optional , , and PyGTK (requires ) User Notes: Installation of VTE Install VTE by running the following commands: sed -i 's%\\177:%&kh=\\EOH:@7=\\EOF:%' termcaps/xterm && sed -i 's/FT2_LIBS $LIBS/& $X_LIBS/' configure && sed -i -e 's/^ssfe_LDADD =.*$/& -lncurses/' \ -e 's/^LDFLAGS =.*$/& @X_LIBS@/' \ src/Makefile.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations sed -i ... termcaps/xterm: The Home and End keys are broken in the xterm termcap file. This sed command fixes them. sed -i ... configure: If you pass the parameter to the configure script, configure will fail because it doesn't include the X Window System library directory in the LDFLAGS in one of the checks. This command adds the required directory. This command is not required if your X Window System libraries are located in /usr/lib. sed -i ... src/Makefile.in: For the same reason the previous sed command is used, this one does a similar modification to fix the Makefile used to build the programs and library. This sed also fixes an issue by adding the libncurses library to the LDFLAGS for building the ssfe program. This issue is also caused by passing the additional parameters to the configure script. --libexecdir=/usr/lib/vte: This switch puts libexec files in /usr/lib/vte instead of /usr/libexec. : These parameters can be passed to the configure script to enable additional drawing methods in the VTE library.
