Introduction to VTE

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

Package information

VTE dependencies

Required

GTK+-2.6.4 and Python-2.4

Optional

GTK-Doc-1.2 (with DocBook SGML DTD-3.1 installed) and PyGTK

Installation of VTE

Install VTE by running the following commands:

sed -i -e 's%\\177:%&kh=\\EOH:@7=\\EOF:%g' termcaps/xterm &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

sed -i -e ...: The Home and End keys are broken in the xterm termcap file. This sed command fixes them.

--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.
