Hi!

This is less invasive than gnome-terminal-fedora because it doesn't include the notification feature. Therefore you can stay with the regular vte3 and vte-common! To fulfill the makedepends you probably need to install the packages itstool, docbook-xsl, appstream-glib and yelp-tools. Ensure that you have installed the package group base-devel, which is a requirement to use AUR.

Top Workaround with devilspie, fore- and background are transparent.

Bottom Background transparency with gnome-terminal, better readability.

@Users of Manjaro

Please check if Manjaro is providing the same version of GNOME, especially the dependencies vte3 and vte-common. If you want the package for an older release, you can pick the required files from the git log.

Yea I'm using Gnome 3.22. I'm not able to update vte3 to 0.48, the lastest version on my repos is the 0.46.1.

hoschi commented on 2017-04-27 19:13 (UTC)

Hmm. Awkward error-message! Can you do me a favor and upgrade your vte3 on the current release 0.48. At least, this indicates, you are still using GNOME 3.22. Right?

Hi, I have the following error: configure: error: Package requirements (vte-2.91 >= 0.48.2 glib-2.0 >= 2.42.0 gio-2.0 >= 2.34.0 gtk+-3.0 >= 3.12.0 gsettings-desktop-schemas >= 0.1.0 dconf >= 0.14.0 uuid libpcre2-8 >= 10.00 x11) were not met: Requested 'vte-2.91 >= 0.48.2' but version of vte is 0.46.1 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables TERM_CFLAGS and TERM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

No problem. I've also learned something :)

@hoschi Curiously enough I did not have pkg-config installed anymore although I do have the base-devel group installed of course. Must've been removed with another package I uninstalled. I did not think about it being a devel package when posting this here. Sorry, my fault then :) It was already clear no me but nice yet elaborately explained answer. I think this should help others well :)

Hello SunRed! You are alive :) I'm think everything should working automatically and your generally right. So I thought that the package 'pkg-config' has to be part of base-devel and it is. Furthermore adding single packages from 'base-devel' doesn't make much sense, so I thought adding 'base-devel' would make more sense (gcc, make, autotools, patch...). But the Wiki states that 'base-devel' should be generally installed on machines which are using 'makepkg' and packages from 'base-devel' shouldn't be part of makedepends and checkdepends. So this seems to be intended by Archlinux and explains why the offical package also doesn't include pkg-config or base-devel. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#makedepends 'Note: The group base-devel is assumed to be already installed when building with makepkg. Members of this group should not be included in makedepends array.' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Usage 'Before continuing, install the base-devel group. Packages belonging to this group are not required to be listed as build-time dependencies (makedepends) in PKGBUILD files. In addition, the base group is assumed to be installed on all Arch systems.'

Package fails build process without pkg-config package. Would be nice if you add it to makedepends.

Upgrade on 3.24.1 is available :)
