Enable vte sixel support #773

Closed cprussin closed 3 years ago

cprussin commented 3 years ago

Fixes #772.

VTE added support for sixel but then subsequently reverted it. However, when removing the support, the public API was left as stubs (and in fact support has since been re-added behind a build flag). This PR adds a call to enable VTE sixel support (with a new config option enable_sixel to disable if desired) which will be a no-op on VTE versions that were built without support but will do the right thing once VTE fully releases support (or when linking against a VTE that was built with the relevant flag).

@jelly I think you're the right person to tag?

Going to close this because as far as I can tell, termite is effectively abandonware so I've stopped using it, and won't be able to actually support this change or make any requested modifications. If I'm wrong about it being abandonware let me know and I'm happy to re-open this PR but I won't be making any modifications or any further support for it.
