Compilation failing on Ubuntu 18.04 #704

Closed ldesousa closed 3 years ago

I am trying to install termite on Ubuntu 18.04 following this guide. Compilling and installing VTE goes fine, but termite itself fails to compile. There is a series of error messages on undeclared methods. The full output is here.

Any clues on what may be wrong?

It's not finding your vte-ng build but the standard vte libraries.

Check where the vte-ng build was installed, compare that to pkg-config --cflags vte-2.91 Also, if you intend to be able to launch other terminals, match the cloned vte-ng version with the vte version. (google tells me ubuntu 18.04 uses libvte-2.91-0.52.2, so match with vte-ng 0.52.2)

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.
