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.

Thanks, @sxyzy1016 and @NYI_87.
I've added glib2-devel as a make dependency. The package glib2-devel was recently split from glib2.

sxyzy1016 commented on 2024-06-22 05:15 (UTC)

glib2_devel package should be added as make dependency, otherwise will get an error about gdbus_codegen.

NYI_87 commented on 2024-06-14 16:41 (UTC)

Had to install glib2 first, even though it's marked as a dependency here. Otherwise received an error about gdbus_codegen.

Yep :)

Oops, it's a dependency of base-devel. My bad

kolay.ne commented on 2024-06-07 11:07 (UTC)

The patch package is missing from the make dependencies

Good Morning!

• Arch and Manjoro are different distributions.
• You can use this package, likely on Manjaro. Keep in mind that AUR is intended for Arch.
• Check the installed version of vte3 (i.e. pacman -Q vte3). Again, you must have vte3 0.76installed. It is a requirement by gnome-terminal 3.52.
• Arch does not support partial upgrades. Package maintainers can require specific versions, but they often do not.

Your response indicates that you use Manjaro, if that is the case:
Manjaro ships today (2024-04-01) the previous versions of gnome-terminal and vte3. The new packages are currently in the unstable branch. If you want to use the package here, you can pick the previous version from the git log or wait till Manjaro upgrades. Switching to unstable is something I don't recommend for you.

The deceiving versions numbers:
I hope I have described it correctly; please don't punish me. The version number 2.91 is part of the library soname, and the version number 0.74 is part of the package name. The library sonames are important for linking and indicating compatibility. Here is a brief description. The soname says every executable or library compatible with 2.xx can link to this library. The developers of vte3 didn't bump the major or the minor version of the soname. That's their decision.
The developers of gnome-terminal 3.52 require vte3 with soname ` 2.91' and also require the package version 0.76.

I hope this helps you and explains the background.
Happy easter.

I don't understand. 1) Build/pkgconfig needs vte-2.91 2) Found 0.74.2 3) vte-2.91 is located in /usr/bin and owned by vte3 0.74.2-1 !

The required version of vte is there, nothing a Manjaro update would change IMHO. How can I change the PKGBUILD to piont to the location of vte-2.91?

hoschi commented on 2024-03-31 13:12 (UTC)

Looks like your Arch needs an upgrade (pacman -Syu). Or you are using Manjaro, which seems to lag behind (in this case I recommend the previous version from the source tree).
See pinned post above :)
