The VTE package contains a termcap file implementation for terminal emulators.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/vte
Install VTE by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dfribidi=false \ -D_systemd=false && ninja
If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.1 installed and wish to build the API documentation for this package, issue:
sed -e "/docdir =/s@\$@/ 'vte-0.70.3'@" \ -e "/fatal-warnings/d" \ -i ../doc/reference/meson.build && meson configure -Ddocs=true && ninja
To test the results, issue ninja test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install && rm -v /etc/profile.d/vte.*
--buildtype=release
:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
rm -v /etc/profile.d/vte.*: This command removes two files installed in /etc/profile.d that have no use on a LFS system.
-Dfribidi=false
: Omit this
switch if you want to enable bidirectional capabilities.
-Dgnutls=false
: Add this switch if you
do not want to enable GnuTLS support.
-Dvapi=false
: Add this switch if you do
not want to enable vala bindings.
-Dgtk4=true
: Add this switch to build
the GTK4 widget.
