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 --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dfribidi=false \ -D_systemd=false .. && 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.
-Ddocs=true
: Add this switch if wish to
build the documentation. It requires Gi-DocGen-2023.1. It's needed to use the
sed '/fatal-warning/d' -i
doc/reference/meson.build command before
mkdir build to work
around an issue in the build system if this option will be used.
And, if this option is used, after the installation use the
mv
/usr/share/doc/vte-{2.91,0.70.2} as the
root
user to move the API
documentation into the expected location.
-Dgtk4=true
: Add this switch to build
the GTK4 widget.
