User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnome-terminal
First, fix building with newer versions of meson:
sed -i '/merge_file/{n;d}' data/meson.build
Next, fix some deprecated schema entries:
sed -i -r 's:"(/system):"/org/gnome\1:g' src/external.gschema.xml
Install GNOME Terminal by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install && rm -v /usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-terminal-server.service

switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
