VTE-0.10.29

Introduction to VTE

The VTE package contains a termcap file implementation for terminal emulators.

Package information

Installation of VTE

Install VTE by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/sbin: This switch puts libexec files in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec.

--disable-gtk-doc: This switch prevents the building of documentation as the directories are currently empty and will cause errors in the make command if this switch is missing.
