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.

@ntdsrd

You need to install it with Pacman. The library libnautilus-extension is a makedepend and required to be present at compile-time. Usually it is already present because Nautilus requires it as dependency. You‘re probably not using GNOME? If so, you can install it and remove it afterwards (or keep it for the next compilation).

I got this:

Run-time dependency libnautilus-extension found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

gnome-terminal-3.44.1/meson.build:310:2: ERROR: Dependency "libnautilus-extension" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

A full log can be found at /home/ntdsrd/.cache/yay/gnome-terminal-transparency/src/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: gnome-terminal-transparency

How can I fix this?

Thank you kwagi :)
The upvotes are a motivation for me.

It works well! thank you! I voted for 99 I hope you get 100 soon.

Enabling debug in AUR PKGBUILD does not make much sense though. It’s only useful for repos packages that one does not build, if you build the package yourself as in the AUR, you can enable debug easily if you want, but having it enabled by default does not really serves any purpose. And indeed AUR helpers might be struggling with that.

@rayshabh
Hello!
I've added the debug option to the package in accordance with the vanilla-package provided by Arch. The reason should be the new support of debug package. Therefore makepkg builds now a debug package alongside the actual package.

Maybe I missed something. I'm not using AUR-Helpers and pacman doesn't complain, with and without the debug package installed alongside. I'm struggling finding meaningful info about yay and that message and Arch doesn't officially support AUR-Helpers. Can you please ask the yay developers what can cause this message?

When searching for AUR packages for updates using yay -Syu, I get this flag message: Missing AUR Debug Packages: gnome-terminal-transparency-debug

Could you please clarify why I'm getting such message?

The build works again with meson >= 0.61.1.
Thank you.
