[SOLVED]I can´t compile xfce4-terminal ..missing vte-2.91 pkg

Hi,

I´m trying to compile xfce4-terminal but it doesn´t work well. I hope in your help.

When I launch the command:
./configure.sh

after a while I have this output and the process stops:
checking for vte-2.91 >= 0.38... not found
*** The required package vte-2.91 was not found on your system.
*** Please install vte-2.91 (atleast version 0.38) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

I searched with the command:
apt-file search vte-2.91
and all packages in the debian 10.3 seems installed.

any suggestion?

Thank you

Check in which directory the file vte-2.91.pc is located (mine is /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but I am using Arch), then  add it to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, as suggested, and try again. It'a a bit strange to find the .pc file outside a default directory path for an official package. You can check the default pkg_config path with the following command: pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config.
Hope it helps

libvte-2.91-0? And libvte-2.91-dev if you want the development files.
